They pretty much implemented 24 month contracts, without clearly stating that. You can only spread out the subsidy of the device over 24 months, and basically that is what the Big 3 contract around already today.
All it means is you are going to pay more for your phone up front, or pay more each month to cover the higher subsidy.
I actually preferred the three year model where I could get the phone for $0 up front, and then choose when in a three year period that I wanted to upgrade.
No I am forced into a 24 month subsidy where I am paying more up front, and if my phone is still usable after 2 years and I don't really want to upgrade I don't get any added benefit.
