since like 98% of amp'd subscribers didnt pay their bills anyway, im sure the ETF is a nonissue... just dont pay it... and guess what... if the company disappears next week, who are you gonna owe that money to?
Since Amp'd owes Verizon, Verizon may have to settle for Amp'd accounts recievable instead of cash. Then, the subs in non-payment will end up owing $ to Verizon. Verizon knows how to collect on debts, or just sell em to a collections agency and wreck peoples credit.
I agree with you - if I was on that sinking ship, I'd jump, ETF be damned. But if you're a user that actually has decent credit (hah) and someone was crazy enough to buy the company out, you might still be on the hook for it... or face a stain on your credit report.
Another one: did Amp'd require deposits from some poor-credit customers, like the major players do? Good luck getting that back...
