Thanks, Ken. I thought I heard 10 cents/min for this plan, but I guess I was mistaken. Well, that certainly is a savings.

One thing to keep in mind: there is no chance that the phone companies (with their numerous and highly-paid lobbyists) will sit on their hands if this type of calling becomes a practical reality.

Should be interesting, though. Even if NPEC doesn't do it, the world of communications is going to change even more dramatically in the next 10 years than it has in the past 10. To think that 10 years ago, a cordless phone was a novelty, not to mention e-mail.

that same call would cost between $0.60 (1 cent/min) and $1.80

That claim does not fit with their own PR. How can they charge less than they're paying for the wholesale minutes they're buying?
