oh no!! I hope they don't start doing that here!! there will
be a lot of people getting new hobbies!
as for the phone companies - this is true - that they are
loosing business from computers, but not as much as from
cell phones. cell phones now have such great deals -
weekends and nights to talk for free - and expanded daytime
minutes. Even my 90 year old mother-in-law got a cell phone
now!! I never thought that would happen! But most people
that I know now, talk for free on their cell phones. I doubt
the phone companies would charge for line usage - I'm on
cable, and don't pay through a telephone company anyway -
and I would bet that if phone companies would start to
charge if you had your internet connection through them, as
many people who had the ability to move to cable, would
cancel their phone connections and move to cable. I switched
years ago, and it was cheaper for me to be on my cable
connection than my phone companies's dial up! (I had a
dedicated line).
just food for thought -

Anyway, a few years back, there was talk among certain
companies to start
the same thing here. Also if my memory serves me correctly,
there was
discussions that the XP we get in this country has the
programs on it, ready
to be activated, for paying for the time usage of the OS.
You stop and figure, that the phone companies are missing
out on a lot of
profit by not charging the user for the long distance
emails.There are
claims that emails have put a dent into the revenues for
telephone long
distance calls.
