Class Action Against Apple and AT&T Gets Certified July 12, 2010
One of the many suits filed against Apple and AT&T recently has gotten the go-ahead from a California judge to proceed as a class action.
The suit alleges that Apple and AT&T conspired to lock people in to their AT&T contracts for more than two years because, two years after the iPhone was released, AT&T is still the only provider of service in the US. This suit was combined with another that alleges that Apple’s gatekeeper function with regard to the App Store is illegal.
I don’t expect these suits to get very far, but if Apple or AT&T want to settle, the class action certification just made the settlement a lot more expensive.
