Zer01 Faces Lawsuit from Former Partner
-
Zer01 Mobile, the company that promised to launch an unlimited, contract-free mobile service in July, has been sued by a former partner.
Global Verge, a multilevel marketing firm that recruited people into a program to sell the mobile service, claims that Zer01 owes it US$170,500, according to the suit.
Both companies have been the subject of scrutiny. Zer01 has yet to launch a mobile service, although it continues to market the service at mobile trade shows and events. Global Verge enticed people to pay a monthly fee in order to sell the mobile service that never became available. Both companies are led by executives with previous or current legal problems.
