As for zero days: I doubt carriers can move that quickly without making mistakes. Two months may be a bit long,

I think you misunderstood. This is about “after how many days on the provider’s plan” a customer is allowed to switch providers.

You can use the phone with any carrier you wish from the start, even though you still have to pay for the original plan, and cancelling it incurs a penalty equal to the prorated amount of the initial discount on the phone price (then they claim inflated “base prices” that are above what one can find at non-carrier shops, but that’s a separate issue).

The proposal is at an early stage

Carriers will likely have until well into Trump’s administration to make any cha… oh, right. Well, anyway, it could be a thing, “if”.
