JGoren: You have just made my point. 2000 minutes for Joe Sixpack - no way. For "professionals" and business people "caller pays" is trivial. You are right on that. For the vast majority of people having to pay (i.e. use precious minutes because those minutes are sharply limited) is something to be avoided. And again I come back to the basic point. Without caller pays both the caller and the person called pay for the same call (a drain on "minutes" for that call). Why? No where else in the world is that the case. Does the US wish to stand out as the most anti consumer country in the world? Perhaps that is the FCC's objective - but I doubt it wishes that to be its objective (in public at least). And having both parties pay is: 1. a rip off of the consumer 2. kowtowing to the wireline companies by the FCC (Of course, I may misunderstand on 2.) Best. Chaz
