The Federal Communications Commission's Enforcement Bureau announced an historic consent decree with Verizon Wireless -- including a record 25 million payment to the U.S. Treasury -- regarding "mystery fees" the company charged its customers over the last several years. In addition to Verizon Wireless's payment to the Treasury, the company agreed to refund a minimum of 52.8 million to approximately 15 million customers and ensure that consumers are no longer charged the fees.
