Bill,
I downloaded Net2Phone yesterday. It was a 5 or 6 minute download. I had already upgraded my sound card two years ago, so I have full duplex capability. The web site wouldn't take my credit card information, so I called the 90 number and spoke with a very friendly and knowledgeable young man who started my account.
The sound quality is fair to good. There is an annoying brief silence every few seconds which tends to break up the conversation. I suspect the person receiving the call has the same problem. I will try an international call today, if possible.
I was still hoping you could comment on depreciation and amortization as it relates to infrastructure expansion. You notice how the company lists EBITDA after the calculation of net income. When will D and A adjustments go away, or will they continue at the same pace. Do you have a feel for this?
