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.'"

    If the price is too high, it's called price gouging
    If the price is too low, it's called predatory pricing
    It the price is just the same, it's called price fixing

    How convenient a system where anyone doing business is guilty :)
