AT&T agreed to pay the FTC $30 million on Thursday.

The new case against DirecTV is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles and the US Attorney's Office in Chicago.

AT&T and DirecTV have faced each other in the past for failing to pay overpaying customers for services that they offered. The FTC case also involves the US Supreme Court, which last month upheld a lower court ruling that said AT&T was not liable for any consumers who had signed up for DirecTV's "Internet Radio" service.

According to a statement from the FTC, AT&T was "disappointed" with the court's ruling.

AT&T said it would appeal the ruling.

"AT&T's failure to provide adequate notice and promptly respond to consumer complaints made against DirecTV does not change its commitment to delivering broadband service, and it will continue to be a significant contributor to AT&T's customer experience and the quality of its online video products," said an AT&T spokesman.

Meanwhile, DirecTV's chief executive, John Lynton, said he does not plan to appeal the judge's decision.A new study reveals that a recent study of women who smoke cigarettes found that they were more likely to develop lung cancer during pregnancy compared to those who were not.

But women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy are more likely to live a healthier life. The researchers, from the Harvard School of Public Health, looked at data from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And their findings suggest that smoking during pregnancy might be more deadly than smoking during pregnancy.

"If you're a smoker, you're more likely to develop cancer; if you never smoke, you're more likely to die," said researcher Dr. Michael J. Geller, MD, a professor at Harvard Medical School.

The study found that women who smoke at least six cigarettes a day during their first three years of pregnancy had a 12 percent lower odds of developing lung cancer compared to non-smokers who did not smoke. The higher risk was also associated with a higher BMI of 20 percent higher than non-smokers, which can have a profound effect on health.

"What was surprising about this study is that the risk was not as high as people might have imagined. Our findings suggest that smoking is associated with lower lung cancer risk than non-smoking, but not as high as the risk of being a smoker," Dr.
