What a paranoid plethora the phone company has purchased.
GIVE the bandwidth to your community.
SHARE - your gear. For example look at PCTuners.com
For the 20 bucks you pay a month ... to use 20 minutes a day ... it seems a shame to lockout the SKYPE man under the tree. In some places they charge 20 bucks an hour, share your power.
You use mine, I use yours, You are needy and I am not. From each according to his bandwidth, to each according to his download. Guthrie, Seegar, and a boatload of past American folk singers would agree ... communal-ist is the way to be.
Come on - it is just common sense.
Sincerely,
Gargoyle
Just keep the GOVT out of it!!!!
