AT&T: We did nothing wrong in promising unlimited data that wasn't. We're just giving the FTC $60m for fun

Comment Toothless American consumer watchdog, the Federal Trade Commission, today agreed to let AT&T settle a five-year battle over phony “unlimited data” promises for just $60m. That's $40m less than expected, and less than one day of annual profit for the telco giant.
The agreement [PDF] lets AT&T claim it did nothing wrong; the settlement, as ever, comes with no admittance of guilt. The FTC’s official announcement repeatedly stresses the fact that AT&T throttled millions of customers' mobile broadband access despite selling them “unlimited data” plans, are mere “allegations.”
