Judge awards iPhone user $850 in throttling case

"Pro-tem Judge Russell Nadel found in favor of Spaccarelli in Ventura
Superior Court in Simi Valley on Friday, saying it wasn't fair for the
company to purposely slow down his iPhone, when it had sold him an
"unlimited data" plan. Spaccarelli could have many imitators. AT&T
has some 17 million customers with "unlimited data" plans who can be
subject to throttling. That's nearly half of its smartphone users.
AT&T forbids them from consolidating their claims into a class action
or taking them to a jury trial. That leaves small claims actions and
arbitration."
