Verizon Wireless is the first major U.S. carrier to commit to a national policy to pro-rate the early termination fee (etf). The company will include new terms in customer contracts that will progressively reduce the amount a customer has to pay if they terminate their contract with Verizon Wireless before their committed term expires. more
