Verizon's accidental mea culpa

Verizon has been given immunity from the threat of a class action by virtue of its arbitration clause class action waiver. Same is true comcast, AT&T etc. You can thank the Supreme Court for this.

Aren't such waivers automatically null and void at least in some states? In EU, such disclaimers are simply a waste of ink, but I recall seeing that some USA states had gone that way as well.

Hmm, I've heard of immunity over class action wiretap related issues, but bandwidth delivery too? Any references? "class action immunity verizon" just has too much noise.
