On Saturday, February 25 on The Tech Guy with Leo Laporte, he received a call from Matt (forgot the last name), the guy who won the AT&T lawsuit in small claims court. He called to talk about the suit and what happened in court. What he said was that the judge asked what he thought would be a fair amount. Matt said he really didn't want money. Meh wanted AT&T to stop throttling him. The judge settled on $850. One thing Matt said was that when he walked into court with all his evidence, he heard the judge say "This is going to be fun." Matt was upfront with the judge. He said he streams Netflix on his phone to. Big screen. AT&T was stupid at that point and said P2P was not allowed on iPhones. Matt proved Netflix streams and therefore isn't P2P. He even went so far as looking up the AT&T website and showed the judge where AT&T is advertising a computer for sale that comes preinstalled with Netflix. When the judge ruled in favor of Matt, the AT&T guy ran out of the court, making it impossible to stop him for questions. AT&T's next move is to try and take the ruling to a higher court in hopes of winning and setting a precedent.
AT&T doesn't have to go back to court. They could just pay the $850 and take everyone off the unlimited plan. As was mentioned by someone in this thread, AT&T's terms say they can change the rules at any time.
