In case you haven’t heard, good ol’ AT&T just jacked the hell out of their early termination fee, effective June 1, from $175 to $325.
Boy, if that wasn’t enough for me to kiss off AT&T, they claim that they have to this because Verizon did it.
Sounds like someone didn’t eat their pablum.

Youngster finishes 30th out of 96 players in Canton, Ga., regional tournament featuring top pros from South region.
Twelve-year-old Kamron Doyle of Brentwood, Tenn., finished 30th
in the PBA Canton (Ga.) Open Regional tournament Sunday, becoming the
youngest bowler ever to cash in a PBA event. He earned $400 which will
be deposited in a scholarship account.
Bowling as a non-PBA
member, Doyle had a 2,797 13-game pinfall total of 215.1 average
bowling in a 96-player field which included some of the top regional
and national tour professional players from the organization’s South
region. The event was won by 2009-10 PBA Player of the Year Walter Ray
Williams Jr.
Doyle is a youth bowling phenom who already
holds the all-time record as the youngest bowler to roll a sanctioned
800 series (he rolled games of 279, 278, and 245 for an 802 three-game
series at the age of 11 years, 2 months, and 1 day) and is also the
third-youngest bowler to roll a 300 game in sanctioned competition.
According to his mom Cathy, Doyle got hooked on bowling when he attended a friends bowling birthday party at the age of seven.
“After
that he was hooked,” Cathy said. “Before we knew it he was bowling
three days a week and at this point I think he’s got about 60 bowling
balls.”
Bowling in his second PBA regional tournament, Kamron
competes in youth leagues and the Southern Scratch Junior Bowlers
Association where he also averages about 215. In addition to youth
competition, he often competes in other adult tournaments where he has
a best finish of fourth.
Doyle was featured in a Disney Channel Get’cha Head in the Game feature in the summer of 2009.
