Cellphone Early Termination Fee, Transparency and Fairness Act
The legislation follows Verizon Wireless’ decision to increase its Early Termination Fees from $175 to $350 for certain subscribers who end their contracts early. The bill would set limits on Early Termination Fees (ETFs) and require wireless providers to pro-rate ETFs and clearly notify customers about the fee not only at the time of purchase but for the duration of their contracts. Free Press strongly supports this bill.
