[Electronics-talk] waiving $30 internet package with VerizonDroid, cause not fully accessible?

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

initially lodging a formal complaint would not necessarily require hiring an 
attorney. I'm not sure where you're located but some of the disability 
rights organizations might be interested in helping you pursue this. As a 
paralegal I deal with these issues regularly so if needed you can contact me 
off list at ckrugman at sbcglobal.net.
