AT&T's epic iPhone bills
It seems that when they're not busy messing up iPhone activations or re-booting their Windows XP iPhone kiosks, the folks over at AT&T spend their time printing out iPhone bills that resemble the screenplay to "The Godfather Part II".
Apparently, AT&T's billing system logs each and every data transfer. Data transfers include such things as surfing the web and checking e-mail. Consider how often the average iPhone user does these sort of operations each day. The result is the sort of gargantuan archive that would make Noah Webster jealous.
The guys at Ars Technica document their mammoth bills, weighing in at 52 and 34 pages respectfully, the bills contain line after line of data transfer charges totaling $0.00 in charges.
Then, Gizmodo tells the tale of a young lady who managed to get herself a 300 page bill.
No word yet on when the postal worker's union plans to file suit.
