PACIFIC BELL WIRELESS, LLC v. PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMN. OF THE ST OF CA. Part I
Public Utilities Commission's multimillion dollar fine against wireless telephone company was based on the following findings: company's practices of charging its customers an early termination fee without permitting any type of grace period, failing to disclose to its customers known network problems and misleading its customers regarding the wireless network's coverage. These were unjust and unreasonable--did not violate company's due process rights and were not in excess of commission's jurisdiction. Commission's decisions were not preempted by federal law. Commission's order that company refund early termination fees to its customers was not overbroad.
