Voip-Pal filed lawsuits against AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom

VoIP-Pal.com (VPLM) has filed an antitrust lawsuit against telecommunications giants AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ), T-Mobile (TMUS), and Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY) in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. A parallel and independent class action lawsuit representing 373 million American smartphone subscribers has also been filed against the same defendants. Both lawsuits allege violations of key sections of U.S. antitrust law: Sherman Act Sections 1 and 2, and Clayton Act Sections 3, 4, and 7. These filings accuse the telecom giants of engaging in anticompetitive practices that restrict competition and harm consumers. “This lawsuit represents an important step in our effort to promote fairness and competition in the telecommunications market,” said VoIP-Pal CEO Emil Malak. “We believe these companies have used their market position to limit choices and increase costs for consumers. Our goal is to challenge these practices and help ensure a more equitable market for everyone. We are not going anywhere! Patience is a virtue.”
