It has now been nine years since AT&T introduced the ludicrous "administrative fee" that it tacks on to customers' bills every month. At first, the fee was under a dollar, but in 2018, the carrier increased the fee to $1.99 a month. BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk noted at the time that the fee would raise AT&T's annual revenue by $800 million a year. There was hope that a class action lawsuit might force AT&T to rethink its charge. But as The Verge reported this week, it looks like the carrier will receive little more than a slap on the wrist.
