BASKING RIDGE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern, a team of T-Mobile skywriters will be flying 6,000 feet above Verizon’s Headquarters in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The skywriters are there to send a message on behalf of hundreds of thousands of consumers who called for the end to the deplorable practice of overages in the wireless industry.
| Background: |
Last year alone, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint milked $1.5 billion in overage penalties from their customers, and over 325,000 people signed T-Mobile President and CEO John Legere’s Change.org petition to abolish overages, making it the #1 technology petition of all time on the site. When the old guard carriers refused to eliminate this archaic practice, John went to social media to see what sort of message he should send to really get their attention. After polling his followers, skywriting was the clear medium of choice. |

| Where: | John’s message to Verizon will be visible over the Verizon Wireless Headquarters (1 Verizon Way, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920) and downtown Newark. | |||||||||
Broll and still shots will be made available later today on the T-Mobile Newsroom.
