Back in April I noted (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/93169) that AT&T will now be pro-rating their early termination fees. Just as a reminder: that new policy started yesterday. Instead of paying the previous $175 penalty no matter when you cancel, new and renewing AT&T customers will now see that $175 total reduced by $5 for every month they're under contract. Sprint, AT&T and Verizon all changed their plans after facing massive ($1 billion, in Verizon's case) lawsuits for misleading customers. The carriers are currently trying to wiggle out of those suits by lobbying the FCC (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/94616).
