So I guess because it looks like we can hopefully save a few cents/minute just on those calls that happen to be to those selected cities we're going to sign right up. I suppose some sort of math would apply in figuring out an ROI, provided of course we keep our fingers crossed that the Feds don't levy that general service fee that all the other telcos have been paying for decades. Some of our subject matter lately may have confused some issues. The current driving force behind VoIP is the potential savings in long distance charges to frequently called cities that happen to have an "offramp" into the local system, or directly into businesses that have their own gateways online. The technology of Be There! is designed to allow a remote access worker to carry all the functionality of his office PBX system with him wherever he goes and allows use of same simultaneously even while conducting remote data access.
