California Whistleblower, Carrier Lawsuit Settled For $116 Million
“AT&T and Verizon have now settled a California lawsuit started back in 2012, with either carrier agreeing to pay out amounts totaling to as much as $116 million,” reports Daniel Golightly in Android Headlines’ Smartphone Carriers News.
Verizon’s payout will equate to $68 million, “overshadowing another payout of $8 million the company is set to settle for in a similar Nevada suit. That doesn’t include attorney’s fees either. For those, Verizon will pay out an additional $23.45 million.”
“AT&T, conversely, will pay out $48 million for the settlement as compared to its $3 million pay-out in Nevada. An additional $13 million will be tacked on for attorney’s fees.”
“The figures equate to approximately $99.45 million for Verizon and around $64 million for AT&T.”
