be -- sorrell. be. >> senator blumenthal, ranking member thune, thank you for inviting me to be here today to participate in this hearing and to speak from the perspective of the state ark d state ags. i do want to make clear that although vermont is the heeled state in a 47-state effort right now to combat wireless cramming, that i'm speaking only on behalf of myself today. it was over ten years ago that vermont started addressing the problem of landline cramming, and our focus was on the third party providers and not on the carriers. but from enforcement actions and settlements, we've recouped for 25,000 vermonters over $2 million in refunds. the you want to take -- if you want to take vermont at two-tenths of 1% of the u.s. population and look at that nationally, from the companies that we looked at and have settled with, that would be over 125 million americans and over a billion dollars lost to landline cramming, and that's just from those companies that we've taken action against. ultimately,
