Well at least AT&T is revealing to us how they will let you off a contract early...
Yep. All you have to do is hack a high profile company, get caught because of your hubris, spend time in jail without formal charges while you lament to your friends on how they broke your jaw this week, get out, not use a computer for several years as a condition of your parole, and then go get AT&T service. Easy!
I think I'd rather pay the ETF. -- I started out with nothing. Today, I still have most of it.
