 OH YEAH!

I hope these people win because it would set an Industry standard, and maybe this will be the beginning of the end of ETF's for cellular providers, or @ least a set minimum of maybe $50.00 LOL

The std practice has already changed with the ETFs reducing over the length of the contract,

In 2006, Verizon took steps to soften the blow of early termination fees by implementing a proration plan for ETFs. The plan takes money off the total fee for each month of your contract you serve, so you are not hit with a full fee for terminating late in your contract. Competitors T-Mobile USA Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp. and AT&T Mobility also announced similar proration schemes.

Or contracts written completely by one side with no input from the other.

Last I checked nobody holds a gun to one's head to agree to any cell phone contract. You can get cellular service without a contract if you like. Pay for the phone or go with prepaid service and you have no contract at all to deal with.

Without knowing what the actual complaint is, I think you're jumping the gun. Is it that the ETF is there at all? Or is that they were charged the ETF even though the contract was materially changed before hand.

They'll be forced to switch to the model being used in Asia.

Cell phones will bee purchased at full price, and monthly fees will be low. Either way, the providers make money because they'll then sell you the phones will a high mark up.

Part of the problem is that the cell-phone carriers can arbitraily change the terms of the contract without notice....if you call to make a small change to your calling plan, they can extend your contract for another 2 years from the date of that minor plan change. So, if you make a change 3 months before your contract end-date, they now extend the plan for an additional 2 years. YOU NEVER WIN!
