Subject: AT&T overcharged Washington, DC, for 5 years, must pay $1.5
million, AG says
DC announces $1.5M settlement after alleging AT&T "knowingly" violated
contract.
By Jon Brodkin
AT&T overcharged the District of Columbia government for more than
five years and has "agreed to pay $1.5 million for its failure to
comply with its long-term contract with the District for cell phone
and Internet services," DC Attorney General Karl Racine announced
Monday. The settlement doesn't recoup the full amount of overcharges
alleged by Washington, DC, which says AT&T "overcharg[ed] District
taxpayers by millions of dollars."
