"The FCC this morning announced that it has struck a $48 million settlement with T-Mobile over the restrictions included in T-Mobile's "unlimited" data plans. According to the FCC, advertisements for both T-Mobile and the company's prepaid MetroPCS service don't make it clear enough to consumers that their connections may be throttled after they consume a set amount of bandwidth. The FCC's 2010 Open Internet transparency rules require that ISPs "give accurate and sufficient information to consumers about their Internet services so consumers can make informed choices."
