Hi Charles, Yes, I read the DT PR. I'm assuming that the release you are referring to is: biz.yahoo.com I wasn't too impressed with their pricing, as far as I can see, since they are putting folks onto one of the most congested parts of the 'net --the international routes-- (unless they are using a private IP backbone or one that has guaranteed performance built in... in which case, once again, it would be mis-clasified as a true 'Internet' service), and 19 cpm to London is nothing great, but I'm sure that these rates will come down. The most significant issues that came to my mind were (1) that it once again puts Vocaltec in a good light, and of course, (2) the fact that a foreign operator is setting up shop on my front porch... this struck me as significant, since we, as a society, have not yet resolved how this new service genre will be allowed to thrive domestically. Interesting, to say the least. Later, Frank Coluccio
