Klobuchar slams AT&T rate hike

Sen Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) slammed AT&T for its decision to double the penalty for users who cancel service to their smart phones. Sen Klobuchar called for Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to take action to protect consumers. "AT&T is forcing its customers to pay a price to get their freedom and that's not right," Sen Klobuchar said in a statement. "Too often customers find out after committing to a multi-year contract that their wireless service doesn't meet their needs, and changing your wireless provider shouldn't break the bank. Once again wireless providers have shown that they would rather use arbitrary fees than network and service quality to keep customers."
