In California, cell phone early termination fees have been made illegal. The article is linked below. Read it. It's not long at all. It offers both sides of the argument. Two points to discuss: 1) Would you rather have expensive phones and no contract termination fees or would you rather have the fees and subsidized phone prices and 2) do you think it should be a state or federal issue?
I think it should be a federal issue for the reasons the article mentioned, but I don't know what I feel about the first question. Anyways, discuss. http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/99655 |

I think telecommunications is largely under federal domain, so this too should probably be a federal issue.
I would rather have expensive phones and no fees, because consumer complaints would probably end up driving prices down anyway and it would get rid of this ridiculous hardware-lockin crap. I'd much prefer for phone selection to be independent of carrier selection. -------------------- |
