Business as usual

If all they're worried about is people terminating and then selling the phone for profit, then why not give the option to return it and avoid paying an ETF?

Oh wait, that's right, this is really about pissing on customers and telling them it's raining.

I seem to remember that the ETFs were chopped across the industry as a way of saying "hey FCC, we're fixing everything on our own, see? No need for regulation. Everybody just move along." Now that the flavor of the day has moved on to something else, it's back to business as usual for ETFs.

So it would be better for the company to take back the phone after 4 months so they can do what? Sell it to another user as new?

This would stop abuse of the current ETF, which is the reason cited for doubling it. So yes, it would be better for Verizon to take back the phone. Remember, if you're terminating after 4 months, it's usually because of a problem you have with the service.

Refurbish the phone, and sell it again.
