In May of last year, AT&T launched a free Wi-Fi “hot zone” for AT&T customers in New York City’s Times Square, in order to help take some of the heat off of their 3G network in the area.

According to Verizon, the settlement is indeed official: In a statement, the company confirmed it is no longer insisting St. Germain pay the bill.
