...Sprint isn't necessarily being unreasonable. There are customers who refuse to be satisfied. What's the fun in that? To these ultimate whiners, a cell phone contract is not an exchange of money for a specific service, it's an opportunity for corporate combat, for indulging their Goliath-killing, "they can't mess with me" fantasy.

But for all those in favor of government accountability, and for anyone who likes to see a David occasionally win against Goliath, Shawn Carpenter's victory in court is worth cheering...
