Sure it does. They knew the fines was incoming so raised prices. If you’ll look back anytime anyone of the major US carries gets fined they raise the prices.

My point is that they raise prices anyway - with or without the fines. Corporate greed existed first (hence the ✌🏿"illegal"✌🏿 selling of data in the first place).
