As well as implying access to broadband at home, this also implies access to broadband when travelling (myself, Jeff, Jonathan and Federico have all attended board meetings this year while not at home - I think maybe Luis and yourself did also). It also assumes that we have hardware that works properly with GNOME for voip (the headset which soeone (you know who you are) offered me wasn't Just Works (TM)) Pretty much every country has low-cost pre-paid cards which allow you to call the US cheaply - once Jeff pointed this out to me, that was my preferred way to get on board calls when away from home. The biggest barrier for me to moving to SIP is actually having to be on the internet when on the call.
