Well, the additional sense for 縛り has been approved, so this can go.

I've come around to Robin's position on this one, and proposed an extra sense to the 縛り entry. I think it will work OK.

"携帯「縛り」に規制を 新規会社が要望、総務省特別委で"
  Comments:
How about using the same gloss but without "2-year"? I would maybe change it to "form of automatically-renewing mobile phone contract with a limited cancellation window and high early cancellation fees".
We could add a note like "usu. as 2年縛り or 4年縛り".
Given that it's not always in the form "2年縛り", I think this is a better approach.

I don't see how anything meaningful can be added to 縛り which would help someone decode 2年縛り satisfactorily. It's really a very elliptical term.

Can't we just add a sense to 縛り? This looks like a pretty odd entry to me. There's also 4年縛り.
