Your wrong about the government only bailing out mortgage companies. Every time we have a bubble that pops the government comes rushing in to save companies. Save with the .com boom. The fact is people don't want to be held responsible for their failures. As a business you have choices to make and if you make yourself top heavy with to much risky debt you need to feel the consequences if things go sour.Like others said if the phone company says "you need a 2 year agreement" to buy this phone for a cheaper price I'm fine with that. I have the option to buy the phone without a 2 year agreement as well. If they forced 2 year agreements out then I'd be stuck with the higher paying prices for phones which I don't want.

"You don't know what the hell you're talking about." You know, I couldn't think of a better response to your post, so I used part of it. No one is forced to sign any contract with the phone companies, they choose to do so and thus no judge should be able to step in and decide what is "fair".

This is exactly what happened to me I transfered my # with 36 days left. I thought I would pay my normal fee for the last month. But know I got charged $200 by Sprint. I have had sprint for 8yrs and only got one phone during that time the rest I bought. My wife still has sprint but I will strongly urge her to switch. I will never go back. Does this make business sense to alienate your customers? Prorating ET would save a lot of anxieties.
