Nomad Internet founded
We provided outdoor wifi access to over 50,000 customers across resorts, RV parks, and campgrounds in Texas.
BACKGROUND
On March 30, 2023, the Office of the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit
against Nomad Internet incorrectly alleging that Nomad Internet willingly scammed
customers, and filed a court order to enjoin operations and freeze company assets.
On April 14, 2023, Nomad Internet successfully reversed the injunction by providing the
court with evidence of legitimate business and services for thousands of customers who
rely on Nomad Internet for internet access.
Six days later, on April 20, the Attorney General’s office issued a press release recklessly
misrepresenting the facts of the case.
Despite attempts by Nomad Internet’s attorneys to correct the factual inaccuracies and
misleading framing of the case by the AG in the press release – including the reversal of
the court ordered freezing of Nomad Internet’s assets, which is not reflected in the
current press release – the AG’s office has refused to cooperate.
FACTS
- The Texas Attorney General’s case is related to Nomad’s operations between April
2020 and December 2022, when the company provided fixed wireless programs
to customers through a network of resellers that Nomad Internet believed to have
legacy contracts, offering customers in rural communities, RV parks and other
underserved areas of the U.S. with unique access to fixed wireless programs that
were both reliable and affordable. - Nomad Internet was informed that some of these reseller’s legacy contracts had
been severed by carriers, at which point Nomad conducted an audit to identify
which resellers were providing unauthorized internet access to Nomad Internet
customers, and terminated agreements accordingly. - Nomad Internet, to date, has issued refunds to all customers who contacted
Nomad Internet after having been impacted by these terminated reseller
agreements. - No criminal charges have been brought against Nomad Internet or any person
associated with the company. - Nomad Internet has full legal authority to operate and continue providing internet
services to its customers. The lawsuit has no impact on the internet services
currently being provided to customers.
STATUS UPDATE
- Nomad Internet attorney’s are working closely with the state of Texas to resolve
the claims made against the company and reach a resolution. - Nomad Internet attorneys are negotiating a favorable settlement, which is
expected to be finalized within the coming weeks. - Nomad Internet has hired a communications advisory firm to mitigate reputational
risk and manage stakeholder relationships. - Nomad Internet customer service representatives have been provided clear
instructions and messaging to field any consumer inquiries or press outreach
pertaining to the lawsuit.
