The government should not restrict a company's ability to charge an early termination fee. Consumers are offered a lower startup price and lower monthly price because they commit to being a customer for a specified amount of time. If the government MUST get involved, perhaps require an option for service without an early termination penalty, which most companies offer... It's called paying full price for the phone or installation. Free cell phones actually cost the company a couple hundred dollars. When I install fixed wireless customers for my company, their committal to my company for a specified amount of time allows me to charge less for a startup fee because I know I'll make that money up in monthly fees over time.
