Joe Farren Quotations

Early-termination fees equal lower monthly wireless rates. The suggestion that we should have a model whereby people can cancel and walk away with a free phone is just untenable.

You don't fix something that's not broken. When you have competition and companies in the marketplace fighting every day, that puts customers in the driver's seat.

Content providers have seen what wireless has been able to deliver for the music industry. What's coming up next is the video.

What about the young parents whose baby sitter is trying to call them, or the brain surgeon who needs notification of emergency surgery. These calls need to get through.

Without the early-termination clause, people would be gaming the system. People would walk away with a $500 phone for virtually nothing. An early-termination fee allows the wireless provider to recoup the costs of giving a phone to a consumer for a steep discount. Without it, you simply have an economic model that doesn't work.

I think we have to look at studies that have been replicated, and there hasn't been one yet. This issue should be guided by science.

We very much believe that laws are being broken and people are profiting from it. Without prosecution there will continue to be this fraud and subscribers and wireless companies will continue to be the victims.

When you objectively look at the enormous body of science that exists, you have to conclude that there is no evidence of adverse health effects.

This is impersonation. These companies are engaged in an illegal activity. They're profiting from it, and they need to be prosecuted.

We oppose any kind of blocking technology. What about the young parents whose baby sitter is trying to call them, or the brain surgeon who needs notification of emergency surgery? These calls need to get through.
