Google as well as all four major US carriers have today responded to the FCC's inquiry into early termination fees (ETFs). The search firm is the strongest objector and argues that it doesn't belong in an investigation associated with carriers. It also believes that the Nexus One was designed to change the phone sale model in the US by taking it away from carriers and that it had planned to drop its controversial equipment recovery fee before the FCC began asking about the unusual $350 (now $150) charge for those who quit a contract early.
