All parties involved have come to a settlement of in total $ 63 Million. This is enough to return $10 per customer that supported this lawsuit. If consumers paid more in the last three months of their content subscription, they can charge that amount instead. Between 4 and 11 Million is reserved for the lawyers.
Meanwhile there seems to be another similar lawsuit going on that’s aimed at AT&T. Depending on that settlement and the timing of it, the current settlement can get lowered to $ 36 Million. For those that like to know more about the case, check the dedicated website.
