Junkies: Jennifer Hoffman, Mary Allan, Kevin DiLallo

Summary: Verizon Wireless doubles its early termination fees for individual-liable users, leaving enterprises vulnerable to commitment shortfall if those users are bulking up corporate pools. Minimize your ETF exposure with proven tips from telecom attorney Kevin DiLallo and telecom manager Mary Allan in this episode, hosted by Voice Report’s Jen Hoffman.

Topics:

  • Suspend and then redeploy devices instead of paying termination fees -- $10/month is a bargain
  • Enterprises with more individual-liable users built into commitment shoulder greater risk
  • Negotiate waiver pool for 5% to 15% of corporate-liable devices and protect against these 5 special circumstances
  • Buy basic devices at retail price instead of accepting subsidy and agreeing to termination fee
  • Rational termination fees coming soon? We’ve got our fingers crossed!
