The FTC’s lawsuit against AT&T’s throttling on ‘unlimited’ data plans will go ahead

A federal appeals court has ruled against AT&T, allowing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to move ahead with its case against the telecommunications company that alleges AT&T throttled data speeds for millions of customers who purchased unlimited data plans.
The case began formally as an FTC clampdown on the way AT&T was marketing its unlimited data plans. That then escalated to examinations about how much power the FTC has in holding corporations to account over their practices.
