New Bill Aims To Limit ETFs > So?

True, but every cell provider already provides a reasonable amount of time during which a customer can bail if the service is not working for them. I don't see why most customers should have to lose a discount on phones that they now enjoy simply because a minority of people are whining about an entirely avoidable and preventable fee.

Tell that to iPhone customers who have seen their service degrade over time but still have a hefty ETF to pay.

said by pnh102:

But even in these situations people have been able to get ETFs waived, as allowed by a typical cell phone contract.

I still think that if government wants to crack down on fees, instead of going after a fully disclosed and preventable ETF, why not go after all the hidden fees that are tacked on to your bill which are NOT disclosed up front? Why not require that the advertised price of service include all such fees? Since this impacts far more people than an ETF, I think this would be a better use of government's time.
