Massive Canadian Class-Action Cellphone Suit Is Approved

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the war-on-big-business dept.

BeanBunny writes "A Saskatchewan, Canada court has ruled that a $12 billion class-action suit can proceed. The suit alleges that 'system access fees' that the cellphone companies have charged ($7-9 per month) are unfair and constitute price gouging. 'It is described as the largest class-action in Canadian history, potentially affecting every cellphone user in the country. Currently, there are 7,500 complainants signed onto the suit.'"

    You know what I'm missing? The word "government" anywhere in my post. Did I SAY that I wanted big brother to step in and enforce controls? Did I say that I need someone to hold my hand while I spend my money? Why don't you leap to a couple of more conclusions, tard. What am I complaining about? I think I made that fairly clear. Two things: 1) corporations that like to squeeze every penny out of me that they can, and 2) jackasses who think that throwing the words "free market" into any argument somehow makes 1) not happen. Congratulations on your obvious superiority. Twit.
