Stepford, CA | Negligible Even if the Death Star were ever forced to payout, they could easily handle the financial ramifications of such a hypothetical settlement. $146k per claimant is chump change. They'd still easily have billions leftover. In fact, if they ever even had to defend against such a suit in court (which they never will) they'd most likely spend a hell of a lot more on legal counsel. |

40,000,000 AT&T customers * $146,000 =approx
$5.8 trillion dollars. DUH!! I don't think they can pay that.

| So, for the record, do you support AT&T and VZ doing such massive monetary damage to the American People? |

| reply to fAcEtIOUs
As of the BellSouth merger they had 70 million landline customers...I assume they've lost a few million off of that total, but I'm not sure it's 30 million?
Still, yeah, with 70 million x $140,000 = $10 trillion? |

Before you jump on someone else pretending you know everything, perhaps you should go to law school - $146k is at best a very generous, above all, educated guess based on what the blogger at Legality believes a jury would award. If At&t were ever forced to settle, rest assured, the amount would be significantly less.  |

That damage would be to AT&T, not the American people...unless you're assuming AT&T will be found liable and the govt will bail them out at the expense of the American people's tax dollars. |

uh... the damages are in compensation for the violation of FISA law.
My implication was that, since TK is a strong supporter of civil damages (i.e. RIAA), he should have no moral bias towards the imposition of these types of fines towards a business entity which clearly violated the law and as such should be held accountable (as we have heard ad nauseum)
Thanks for taking all the fun out of it |

Or, U.S.C. 2702(a)(3) & (c) was amended in 2006 to reduce "reasonable belief" of "imminent danger" to merely "good faith belief" of "danger" (not imminent)?

Their total assets come to approx $268 billion
But subtract what they owe $157 billion
And that leaves a net worth of $111 billion
Nowhere near $5.8 trillion

| We can charge them a privacy recovery fee and sign them up to a long term contract that lets them pay off the rest. |
