is that they ENSURED that they got away with it by giving such ridiculously short notice.

Another thing I was thinking while reading the article is how ridiculous the requirement to keep up with the ToS is. Say for example I check Verizon's TOS quarterly like clockwork. They make some change to the terms on February 1st, and make a notation that if I haven't opted out by March 15th then I've agreed to the terms. That's a nice long notice period. However, since I only re-read them quarterly, I'm not going to get around to re-reading them until April 1st. So then I discover that I've inadvertently agreed to terms that possibly I DON'T agree with.
