Teenager spends €40,000 downloading TV drama
A Spanish teenager ran up a phone bill of nearly €40,000 by downloading all the episodes of US television drama Lost.
Blanca Rosa Alcántara - the 14 year old daughter of a councillor in Getafe, Madrid - managed to run up the bill last year using the 3G mobile internet card which the council had assigned to her mother, reports Typicallyspanish.com.
The councillor said in a press conference in Madrid yesterday that she had not noticed beforehand as they have a flat-rate tariff for the internet at home. She promised she would return the money to the council, complete with interest, although she lamented that the irregular use had not come to light earlier
