High Tech Lounge — ... you can free yourself from those shackles. I’m also hoping that in two years, wireless data will be a little more affordable.

According to the lawsuit: Although the customer service summary informed plaintiff and other consumers that their first bill might be higher than expected because of a $36 activation fee, one month’s service billed in advance, and prorated charges and fees for the month when the customer ...
