A Kansas jury has ordered AT&T to pay almost $17 million for overcharging its California customers in passing along a federally mandated phone fee. But the jurors late Wednesday didn’t find the telecommunications company guilty of conspiring with Sprint Nextel Corp. or then-competitor MCI to overcharge customers nationwide for the Universal Service Fund. The case consolidated dozens of class-action lawsuits filed around the country. It covered long-distance customers who paid into the Universal Service Fund between Aug. 1, 2001, and March 31, 2003. Sprint was a co-defendant in the case. But the Overland Park, Kan.-based company agreed in September to settle its involvement for $30 million.
