Creator of Prepaid Wireless Tech Wins Suit
A jury on Friday ordered a prepaid cellular phone service company and four wireless carriers to pay million in damages to a firm that patented technology and systems to provide prepaid service.

Boston Communications Group Inc. was found liable in all the damages total because the jury found it used the patented technologies in providing prepaid services that carriers offered their customers.
