# 42% of cell phone switchers don't switch, thanks to fees.
So the government is trying to make them lower/remove early termination fees.
So, they will either have to charge full price for the phone, or re-work the contract that you pay for the phone in installments over 2 years, and if you terminate early you have to pay off the phone. In the end, it is the same.
People are getting $300 phones for free and $800 phones for 200-300$ bucks. There is no way they can allow people to switch back and forth without penalties and still have the phones at that price.
I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.
