$88 Million Settlement For Consumers In MCI Non-Subscriber Rate Litigation
For several years, MCI charged subscribers of its long distance telephone service non-subscriber rates in certain circumstances. The non-subscriber rates - up to $3.00 per minute at certain points in time - were 20 times greater than the subscriber rates that should have been charged. Representing MCI subscribers who were charged non-subscriber rates, Seeger Weiss was a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee and Chaired the Discovery Committee in several Federal actions that were coordinated for pre-trial proceedings. Ultimately, Plaintiffs achieved an $88 million settlement - to that point, the largest-ever settlement of a consumer telecommunications claim.
