Chaz,

<< many people I know turn off their phones because they do not wish to take the risk of paying for unwanted calls >

I have not had much time to post here recently. I have, however, kept my reading of this thread up to date.

You are absolutely right on about the need for the US to adopt "calling party pays" to advance wireless usage in the US. Keep up the awareness of this issue, please. It is a serious issue. You are also correct in saying that the wireline guys will fight this to the end, because it hastens the demise of their copper wire based existence.

Regards,

- Eric -
