AT&T To Launch Sponsored Data Product → Should be brought up on charges: the RICO act

Racketeering.

Create an artificial problem and then demand people pay you to avoid having the problem.

This is no difference from the Mob charging businesses "insurance" to make sure something bad didn't happen to their business. Don't want to pay, well then something bad happens.

Criminal.

"Demand"? This plan is optional. If you as a content owner don't like it, then don't pay for it. Guido isn't going to break your content's legs for not paying for toll free data.

for now...

What else is there?

Optional. So was paying the mob's insurance.
