Holy shit. It's been around for a bit but...

This shit really works.

I have about 1000 minutes of biz-related talking a month. That'll cost me $24 with skype. I can keep my cellphone restrained to when I'm actually on the go and not in front of my lappy, and for weekends and evenings.

And skype-to-skype calls are free, with up to 5-person conferences free also.

This is going to seriously fuck some shit up.

This is also why PHONE COMPANIES want to put toll-booths on your internet. Because they (or the cable companies that are all pushing their own digital phone service) don't want a competitive marketplace for these sorts of services. They feel that because they "own" the last mile network they should be able to extort a premium from other service providers. I say that all these networks were massively publicly financed and, hello!, I already give Time Warner $60 a month to have the internet on. I should be able to do whatever the fuck I want with that bandwidth, bitches.
