Heh, their own VOIP carrier? I wonder if this means they will QoS all competing
VOIP carriers into
the dirt? "Oh? having problems with VOIP? I'll be it's those dodgy overseas
carriers, why not use

Shall we start a pool on the likelyhood of the WiMax network being a) reliable,
and b) affordable?
Me? Cynic? Never!
