Unfortunately, under the California law we are now prohibited from providing certain data features to consumers free of charge, the operator wrote on its website. Given that the Internet does not recognize state borders, the new law not only ends our ability to offer California customers such free data services but also similarly impacts our customers in states beyond California.
Reuters reported that AT&T declined to say how many customers will be affected by the move. Presumably those customers would subscribe to the operator s metered mobile data plans that levy charges based on the number of gigabytes customers use per month.
