US says T-Mobile to pay US$48mil over data disclosures


IN TROUBLE: Dish's trove of wireless airwaves, or spectrum, would turn No 4 US wireless company T-Mobile into a much stronger competitor to Sprint, the current No 3.

WASHINGTON: T-Mobile US Inc will pay US$48mil (RM200.53mil) to resolve a federal probe into whether it adequately disclosed speed and data restrictions for its "unlimited" data plan subscribers, US regulators said. 

The settlement includes a US$7.5mil (RM31.33mil) fine, US$35.5mil (RM148.32mil) in consumer benefits for T-Mobile and Metro PCS customers with "unlimited" plans, and at least US$5mil (RM20.88mil) in services and equipment to US schools "to bridge the homework gap facing today’s students," the US Federal Communications Commission said in a statement.
