Another suit has been filed against Comcast over required set-top box leases. Alabama resident Gloria Cordier and her attourney Stephen Mullins filed in Mobile’s federal court claiming that Comcast is violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by forcing customers to pay a monthly rental fee for a set-top box in order to watch premium channels.
This is the seconds suit of this type in less than one month. The other was initiated by Gordon Ramey of West Virginia. The individual filings could likely be consolidated into a single class action suit.
We salute Gordon, Gloria, and all of the brave man and women that choose to take action rather than passively allow Comcast to pick their pockets on a daily basis. If these do turn into a class action, there will be an opportunity for lots more to join in on the fun.
THE LAWYERS WILL WANT TO SETTLE to get a fat check while the members of the class each end up with a check for something like $2.17…NOTHING DOING!!! We want COMCAST out of the Cable Box rental business, and preferably out of business all together.
