Well they might get it right between themselves and their greed but speaking of VoIP they need to take their hands off or they will set the USA back several decades in new development and technology. The rest of the world have used VoIP for almost 10 years now and only recently did the US carriers pick up the ball! Why you may ask, very simple they had someone else do the groundwork and spend their money. Now when VoIP has been improved and actually in some cases the reception is even better than several cell phone carriers they are all coming out crying over unfair competition. They have themselves monopolized this entire area of communication for decades without wanting to share their wealth and greed with places such as rural areas that still do not have access to broadband which by the way also is a scam. Why is it that many countries in Europe and Asia transfer data via the Internet at a speed very close to 10 GIGABYTES for only US$10 per month? do you have the answer? well I do.... GREED.
So let them have it and maybe they will find out what competition is all about. Back to TAXES on the VoIP! their is one company that has the VoIP service absolutely FREE and that is the AdCallsCommunicator. You see they do not give you a number, all they allow you to do is call from your PC to any telephone in the USA and Canada. They even have the service available from Mexico where you can call for FREE to any telephone in the US and Canada. Let's see how they are going to tax this kind of service with all servers and switches off-shore. This should be interesting and with more than 20,000 new downloads per day it sure seems that http://www.AdCallsCommunicator.com has a service no one can touch and I will encourage you all to download this ingenious Virtual Cell Phone today... right now and please do tell a friend.

It might even go as far as motivate people to move from urban areas to less urban areas becuse the technology would be better "out there."

- Why not VOIP in Rural Areas?

- Why spend our tax dollars on an aging system like POTS instead of working on getting better broadband access in the rural areas (WiMax or other longer distance wireless solutions or a wired solution) and then use VOIP for their phone service. Wouldn't that be cheaper in the long run as well as promote technology in the rural areas?
