Re: Bill aims to limit wireless early termination fees The other component is that ETF's should be amortized over the length of the contract. If you cancel after one month of service, sure - you pay the full ETF, but if you cancel at month 23 (out of 24), then the ETF should be pretty small.
Sprint started doing that . . . but ONLY for newer contracts. Another matter that probably needs regulatory attention.
Example: I'm on month 23 of 24 contract for a USB data card, but because I signed on a long time ago - before Sprint started amortizing the ETF over the length of the contract - if I canceled today, I still have to pay the FULL ETF.
One month and 2 days, Sprint . . . I AM counting. |
