Alyon TECHNOLOGIES Judge rules nobody has to pay

Judge rules in suit over Web site billing
updated: 07/16 09:05 PM

Hundreds of people in Missouri, Illinois and elsewhere got billed for connections to pornographic Web sites they never requested. Now a federal judge has ruled that those people don't have to pay - or can get refunds.

In May, the Federal Trade Commission and the attorneys general in Illinois, Missouri and 11 other states sued Alyon Technologies Inc. Of Secaucus, N.J., and Telcollect Inc. Of Norcross, Ga., accusing them of billing for unordered services, refusing to cancel bills and threatening to turn the accounts over to collection agencies.

FTC investigators found that the companies were using a modem dialing program to disconnect consumers from their own Internet service providers and reconnect them to Alyon's network, without permission.

U.S. District Judge R.W. Story in Atlanta ordered the companies to pay restitution and to stop collecting on overdue bills.

Yes, that screed from alyon's hired pr guns and the claim the company was "fully vindicated". Is more bull hockey.

Alyon's troubles are just beginning. And it will be a pleasure to watch them all go down
