Since there were no AT&T pay phones near me, they were worthless to me and went unused.
So, oh yeah, they can do exactly that, if that's how the settlement was approved.

Amazing, or rather surreal. With all the legalistic options available to Americans they still much get away with anything. I remember a case in Japan where the CEO had to travel to ten different cities and apologize publicly, usually in front of the central train station, the actual town center in most Japanese cities.
