California judge forbids cell phone "early termination fees"

California judge forbids cell phone "early termination fees":

"The judge - who is overseeing several other suits against telecommunications
companies that involve similar fees - also told the company to stop trying to
collect $54.7 million from other customers who haven't yet paid the charges they
were assessed. The suit said about 2 million Californians were assessed the
fee."

This could mean a major change in the way that cell phone companies do business.
