AT&T Sues T-Mobile Over "Easy Switch" Tool

AT&T has taken T-Mobile to court over its "Easy Switch" tool that uses AT&T or Verizon account data to recommend an equivalent T-Mobile plan and streamline the process of switching to T-Mobile. Originally, the tool asked users to log in to their AT&T or Verizon account from within the T-Life app, and a T-Mobile bot would then extract (or "scrape") account data on the user's behalf. AT&T claims that "more than 100 categories of private information" were extracted, and that this process violated its web site terms and conditions. T-Mobile has since modified the process, but AT&T is still pursuing temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction "to stop T-Mobile from taking customer data from secure, password-protected websites on AT&T's computer systems without AT&T's consent."
