Victor in Throttling Case Publishes Guidelines on Taking AT&T to Court

Matt Spaccarelli, an unemployed student who won a small-claims fight with AT&T over its throttling, or slowing down, of his smartphone, wants to make it easier for anyone whose smartphone was throttled to fight the carrier in court.

Over the weekend, he published a Web site containing the documentation he presented to a judge, which helped him win $850. Spaccarelli lists the forms a customer needs to go to small-claims court, as well a subpoena document that someone can use to request information from AT&T. He also includes documents describing what he read to the judge, as well as information about data speeds and government policies on networks.
