Telco Spams and Gets Huge Fine

Posted by samzenpus on from the can-you-spam-me-now dept.

jack_call writes "According to The Register the large German based mobilephone operator 'Debitel' was fined $359000 for (deliberately!) sending a total 48000 spam messages( mail: 36000, sms: 12000) to Danish costumers of rival company 'Telmore'. According to different Danish media outlets, they appealed immediately, mostly because the fine comes out at about a sixth of what 'Debitel' made last fiscal year after taxes."

    You're getting picky about a typo ('costumers' for 'customers') and you don't check your own post before submitting ('people who ake their competitor's clothes')?

    People who live in grass houses shouldn't throw stones, you know.
