Likely what will happen is the case will settle out of court with the Apple owners told to return their devices with full refund and no ETF, as what happened in the Verizon crippled Bluetooth fiasco. AT&T will make the problem go away by getting rid of the problematic first month crowd, and keep selling the limited data plans to the new users. | |

Scarsdale, NY | Re: Not cool but....... There's no ETF which is part of why this case matters. iPads don't have a contract. You can sign up/cancel 3G data whenever you need/don't need it. This was advertised as a great feature of the device when it was announced.
The problem is that you can only keep the unlimited 3G service that was advertised in the beginning if you signed up for data right away and never turn it off. | |

I DON'T THINK SO. awards are rarely over a dollar.
maybe a coupon for a kids junior hamburger.

| Wait a second... Wait just one second here. I think the major news item here isn't that the judge refused to dismiss the case. I think the major news is that a class action lawsuit was actually filed. I mean, didn't AT&T have these ruled unconstitutional, an act of terrorism, or somehow related to child abuse/neglect/porn a while back? | |

| Bait and switched WHAT? They can still get data through AT&T, and just because you bought hardware doesn't mean the plans will be EXACTLY the same forever. This lawsuit is pointless and ridiculous. It probably says in the terms somewhere that you can switch to plans CURRENTLY available. | |

EARTH | Re: Bait and switched WHAT? Not really. Not only are the plans very similar to the end user, but the device is not 3G-centric, and most of it's use cases are on wifi anyways. | |

| | T T will settle out of court- the group will take the deal and they'll get free service/offers from ATT and move along. Those customers that aren't happy with the service will go to VZW and will act like nothing happened. | |

The Supreme Court of the United States of America? They wouldn't even spend a second considering this case. It would never make it to them. They would deny cert. in a second. | |

Boca Raton, FL | Timing, Timing, Timing The problem was that many customers were still waiting for the delivery of their iPad 3G due to the heavy demand when AT&T pulled the plan switch.
So yea, AT&T knew they were pulling the Unlimited plan when the offered the iPad 3G. Simple "Bad Faith" offer.

| Ma Bell (Or Ma Cell) Some day AT&T will be Ma Cell. As for the "Bait and switch" that seems common place for them as of late. Once they buy T-Mobile then they will be Ma Cell with GSM. Even my GSM provider is partnered with them. However I do not mind the free Cell+internet+text with Cellular One here in RURAL Montana. In your EAR with a can of beer AT&T and my internet is truly unlimited!!!! (edge service but can't complain for the $60.00 investment for triple play: Cell phone, home~cell and an air card with no limit on the data for 30 months) No kidding. If you are in RURAL Montana call Cellular One and see if you can get this.
