    <title>Bas Rutten Does Not Like Cell Phone Contracts</title>
    <summary>--&gt;Here&apos;s a funny commercial starring Bas Rutten for some prepaid cellphone company. You probably shouldn&apos;t try this with your own cellphone company, but that doesn&apos;t mean you can&apos;t be thinking like Bas while disputing that ETF.</summary>

        <![CDATA[<p>Oh WHY can't there be a decent GSM-based prepaid provider in the US? AT&amp;T charges more than my Chinese SIM with int'l roaming for all but domestic voice calls (which I barely do), T-Mobile won't let me go online with prepaid, and neither will any of the other GSM-based MVNOs. Why are the only providers with good deals all CDMA, or worse, iDen?</p>]]>

<p>LOL! I think I watched this...it's like an hour long.  I was doing some research for my book (hell, I've never been in a street fight!).  It was so awesome I bookmarked it and watched it a bunch of times just for fun.</p>
<p>I love that it's Net 10! I finally got a phone and that's what it is! :)</p>]]>
