Termination Fees Hurt Consumers


Japan has the same contracts in place here (complete with Early  
termination fees); however, when Vodafone eschewed logic and  
introduced a more international version of it's phones to the 3G  
market in Japan, the Japanese populace still reacted and jumped ship  
en masse. An insane number (like 20% of their user base IIRC).

Users that are angry enough will still jump ship, regardless of fees.
