FCC May Regulate Cancellation Feeswednesday, 7:31 AM by Eric M. Zeman The
FCC and several wireless network operators are in discussions over
early termination fees. Though most of the carriers have adopted a
prorated ETF policy recently, Verizon Wireless, among others, is hoping
to standardize ETFs across the industry. The terms include allowing new
customers to cancel service either within the first 30 days of service,
or within 10 days of paying their first bill. It would also set a
maximum rate for ETFs, and set a prorated schedule for them to drop
month by month. In exchange for this offer, Verizon is asking that the
FCC drop or otherwise dismiss a number of lawsuits facing it and other
carriers over ETF policies. more at CNN / AP ยป
