Frank: A paragraph worth noting in the article's you mentioned on the Telephony.com page> "One difficulty inherent in flat-rate pricing is authentication, according to USA Talks.com President Bill Ervine. He uses the example of a college kid who buys unlimited long-distance and a personal identification number for a flat rate. "If the company sells that service for $30 a month, what's to stop that kid from selling the number to 50 friends for $1 each? There's no way the provider can police that," he says" What a deal <g> The graph shown on fig-1 is quite complex. In regards to pricing differences, I for one was never to keen to the fact that a few pennies saved was worth the switch "domestically". Its the added features, SS7, faxing that caught my eye long term. Understanding the PC environment, PC-enabled Telephony has been my final destination. Looking forward to G.lite DSL in the next year? Hopefully <g> Temp Thx for the IP.net (icon), on the IP site, I hadn't noticed it before.
