said by pnh102:said by NOVA_Guy:If the bill passes, and companies eliminate discounts on phones, then they won't be able to charge any early termination fees to consumers. (One of the clauses limits ETFs to the amount of discounts provided.)
I'd say that was a good thing.
And you can already get cell phones for full price and not be subject to any ETF. So this means absolutely no action is needed by Congress. If that's what someone wants to do, then by all means let them do it. If someone would rather get a discount and be bound to a contract, let them do that as well.
Why is this type of customer choice a bad thing?
Even if you pay full price for a phone you pay the same `subsidized` monthly fee.
