Chaz, I don't think it is quite right to say that the network providers are double charging for calls from wireless to wireless. Both users are paying for minutes of use of wireless service, and are getting what they paid for. Charging someone who calls from a wireline phone to a wireless doesn't seem fair. If you want the convenience of wireless telephony, pay for it yourself. Having said that, it seems wireless is headed eventually to monthly service fees, similar to wireline and internet access--pay so much per month for unlimited voice calls. Maybe as VOIP develops, the actual cost for voice calls will approach insignificance, and only data will have per minute fees. It makes sense then to have HDR separate from voice channels that way, too. BWDIK? Regards
