Source excerpt
Panama’s consumer protection agency (Acodeco) has fined the Digicel telephone company $15,000, for repeated misleading advertising.
In a statement issued on Friday, September 27 Acodeco said it based its decision on the statement that “unlimited minutes” generated the idea of “unrestricted” consumption and the application of a limitation such as the “fair use policy” to the service brings confusion in the advertising message.
