Sprint's Early Termination Fees Under Fire

 
Sprint is getting hit with another lawsuit over its Early Termination Fees (ETFs). Attorney Scott Bursor, fresh off a provisional victory against Sprint in California, has launched a US$1.2 billion suit against the wireless carrier for ETFs charged to customers since 1999. The suit asserts that ETFs violate laws in all 50 states and the Federal Communications Act. ETFs usually amount to anywhere from $150-200 for every phone line cancelled before the end of a contract.
