Shocking!... a wireless carrier overcharging us?

A recent lawsuit was just filed asserting that AT&T systmatically overstates data usage on iPhones and iPads to their obvious benefit. My only reaction is to wonder why it took this long for this claim to surface. I challenge anyone to read their cell phone bill and figure out the data usage section. They could put anything on that bill and we would never know. In the lawsuit, a computer firm hired to confirm the claim states that, as an example, they purchased a new iPhone, turned off any and all features that would consume data, let it sit for 10 days and found that AT&T listed 35 instances of data consumption for that time period. It may turn into a class action suit, which means that nobody will get anything other than that annoying postcard in the mail informing you of the .35 cents you will get in the mail after the plaintiffs win.
