That is what this is stupid, and a no-justice.
- anigbrowl 11y agoWell, it gives the victims standing to sue, but even then the attorneys will take about 35% and you'll probably just get a $20 credit on your bill or somesuch. And the FCC can use the money towards the universal service obligation by either subsidizing phone plans for the poor or encouraging the building of public access internet.
- tw04 11y agoYou might want to pick a different example. Intel paid AMD over a billion dollars as part of their settlement. The money they paid to the EU as a fine was on TOP of the money they paid AMD, not in lieu of.
