Who qualifies for $135M Android settlement?

An estimated 100 million people may qualify for a
class action lawsuit against Google.

Google, while denying any wrongdoing, previously
agreed to the settlement in a lawsuit that accused
the company of causing Android mobile devices to
send “a variety of information” to the internet
giant without the users’ permission. This, the
lawsuit alleges, consumed the cellular data on
those devices.

A similar lawsuit for only California residents
resulted in a $350 million settlement.

...

$135M to 100M users is $1.35 per user. Assuming half of the candidates
don't respond, or fail to register, that goes up to a whopping $2.70 per
user. Even if I qualified, I wouldn't waste my time getting involved on
a piddly settlement. Plus the settlement probably has the lawyers get
paid first, and the remnant balance dispersed to the claimants.
