AT&T brought the lawsuit last year after T-Mobile began touting its T-Mobile Unlimited 55+ plan and claiming that “92% of seniors in the U.S. can’t get a wireless discount from Verizon or AT&T because they don’t live in Florida.” https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/att-t-mobile-settle-suit-over-senior-discount-claims
