Both sides are asking the judge to approve a wrist-slap settlement

By Sean Hollister

Since 2013, AT&T has quietly bilked customers out of hundreds of
millions of dollars with a bogus "administrative fee," a fee it more
than doubled to $1.99 a month in 2018. For a few years there, a
California class-action lawsuit made it seem like AT&T might finally
get taken to task. But this week, both sides told a judge they'd
settle for just $14 million -- meaning customers may get less than 10
percent of what they paid AT&T, while AT&T gets to keep on charging
them.
