Nobody is ever online (at any given moment, less than 3% of your friends and family are likely to be online).  Nobody owns a USB handset.  Nobody owns a skype WiFi phone.  Municipal wifi is a ruse.  Rural wifi will NEVER happen.  WiFi/Cell hybrid phones that work anywhere are laughable (pay for BOTH?

I live in Canada and for paltry $15 a year enjoy unlimited outgoing call to all phones in Canada and US. Besides, I've been using Skype for about 3 years and saved definitely more than $1K on international phone calls. I think Skype is one of the best software program ever made.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lego]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2007 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CE-Oh no he didn't!
