They stopped in Mexico after threats from regulators there. I think it's safe to assume they'll keep doing it (or start doing again) in other countries where they can get away with it.
But at the very least, the article doesn't say they agreed to never do it again anywhere in the world.

Mainly because the consumer protection agencies here (PROFECO and IFETEL) are basically toothless and corrupt(ible). The sad thing is that its guaranteed that they will do it again.
