Carriers in the US are already moving away from the subsidized model. Verizon has the Edge program where you make monthly payments on the phone for the duration of your contract, but interest-free. Your payments are setup to last the full length of the contract, if you would like to leave the contract, all you have to do is pay the rest of the balance you owe on the phone.
