Cheaper than the Verizon ETF. It stinks for anyone wanting to get out early, but is a necessity as long as we have carriers subsidizing phones that cost shy of 1k. I don't like the idea of paying more to leave early but they still have to make a profit.

It also keeps someone from buying an iPhone and flipping it on ebay for a hefty profit while the company loses money (any surprise they raised it right before the next iPhone model is set to be released?)
