Chaz, Personally, I'm not exited about caller pays. Sure, I think it is kind of silly to pay to receive a call, but I think a lot of other things are silly, too. For instance, I'm in new car mode and think it is silly that I cannot buy a station wagon from any division of General Motors. I don't want a van or an SUV. With the currently available cellular plans, the cost per minute for anyone using a significant number of minutes simply is not that important. For most of us, it is part of the cost of doing business and is greatly overshadowed by being able to make or receive a call somewhere other than at the office. I wonder, too, if some of the foot dragging on caller pays might be the big carriers trying to control their growth. If usage grows too quickly, their GSM/TDMA infrastructure becomes obsolete that much faster and they'll have to deal with the CDMA question sooner rather than later.
