<<<<the FCC recommendation "could very well double the cost of an Internet telephone call from 5 cents a minute to 10 cents a minute," IDT president Jim Courter said in an interview.>>>>> AT&T attorneys must be burning the midnight oil to protect their cushey, overpaid turf. I cant believe all of the crap we have all had to go through over the last 15 years because people felt we had to protect AT&T. Now here we go again, they are starting to whine like McNeely and Barksdale just because someone can offer us a 5 cent LD call. How about some accountability from the big T? What about the flyer they took in the computer business? When that failed they grabbed NCR and drove it into the ground. One miss-adventure after another. Now they want to put leg irons on the IP telephone business to kill it before it grows. Have they no decency? Trying to bribe us to switch back, and can't figure why we have no loyalty? (I wonder how many people actually bite on those $50 checks? Is that bait and switch or what?
