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.
