Re: Increased ETF justified; bogus $1.99 data fees not said by jester121:The retail price of phones is clearly visible on the signs in the store, and presumably not too difficult to locate on their website As previously noted the MSRP price is an artificial value. This is where the arrangement becomes quite deceptive to customers. If the issue is investigated and it can be proven that the carriers and handset makers collude to artificially reduce competition and increase prices they will have to change their business practices. The FCC is already looking into it. The FCC has the mandate to do this because the wireless carriers are using public property in the form of licensed wireless spectrum to deliver their service. |

 | MSRP is a scam to begin with.
What many of you may not know is that there are also minimum selling prices and as a reseller you have to maintain that price or you will lose your right to sell their products. And resellers cannot legally tell you want their prices are for a product. Doing so will put them in breach of contract and they could be held financially liable. |
