Cameron Grigg Lawsuit
In 2015, Cameron Grigg, the owner of a successful small business in Maryville, Tennessee, filed a lawsuit against two internet service companies, Comcast and AT&T, for suspending his service without reasonable cause. The lawsuit aimed to have the companies compensate for substantial financial losses suffered due to the weeks-long service suspension.
Grigg accused the companies of miscalculating his business’s usage of data for the prior months. Moreover, he argued that the two companies had not provided him with a warning that would have given him an opportunity to make the necessary corrections to avoid the service suspension. Furthermore, Grigg argued that the companies did not clarify why his services had been suspended or provide a timeline for restarting the service.
The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed in 2017. However, the case served as a reminder to ISPs to adhere to the Fair Access to Broadband Data Act that requires them xto provide explanations for data disengagements without waiting for a legal action.
It’s clear that Cameron Grigg’s lawsuit could have long-lasting effects on how the legal system and society deals with whistleblowing in the future. As the case continues, we’ll see just how much of an impact it brings.
