Re: Whats next? While I generally agree with your sentiments, its not like we (users) get to actually negotiate a contract here.

Don't like the terms? Don't sign the contract openbox9 pretty much made my point. I agree, the ETF sucks. But people are informed of it in advance, the fee is set, and they agree to it - in exchange for getting a discount on the phone. Its no different than those apartment complexes that offer the first month free rent, but if you break the lease, you have to pay for that month. Its basis contract 101. And I see it as even LESS of a problem now that there are so many non-contract cell plans.
Now auto-renewals, and pretty much anytime a person isn't physically signing the contract, that is a different story. |

| Having a cell phone line is imperative for many people`s jobs. These companies rent spectrum from the government. Considering consumers have no legitimate choices as there is a severe lack of competition in the wireless industry, it makes sense for the government to regulate these contracts. |

But they are all out to set us up for failure, so I along with others will continue to complain, and laugh at any bad fortune that falls on any cell phone company. |

kudos:2 | Set you up for failure? How about providing you a valuable service while maximizing their ROI? If the service isn't valuable enough, or you don't feel like contributing to their ROI, then don't purchase their products. It's not a conspiracy to bring doom to NeoandGeo  . |
