Verizon, my friendly local telephone service provider, is also in the business of providing internet access to milions of customers. Turns out, Verizon has been slightly overzealous of late, protecting their customers by blocking entire countries who may have operators, miscreants all, who do some spamming. So, let's say there's a particularly annoying spamcreant named Joe Turd. Joe's spam is brought to the attention of Verizon's customer service. One call from the service center and the system administrators have blocked the entire United Kingdom.
It appears that some of Verizon's customers are from Great Britain. They are very unhappy that their emails home are no longer available to them. So they're suing Verizon.
