Onno,
Please tell me how I am paying for computer to computer Skype calls.
Perhaps Onno could have been inferring, in his own inimitable way,
that your Skype calls will incur a data cost from your ISP.
I use iChat AV quite a lot for text, voice, and video chats, and
occasionally use a Cisco IP phone. My ISP gives me a quite decent
quota of data each month and then shapes traffic after that so I
wouldn't incur any extra charges even if I exceeded the quota. Not
that I ever even come close.
My voice traffic on the 'net therefore is not costing me anything
extra above what I'm already shelling out for from my ISP.
Now I'm looking with interest at Internode's developments with VoIP
through their (own) carrier company Agile
<http://www.agile.com.au/voice/>. Their voice over broadband
(NodePhone) service has finished beta testing and may be made
publicly available soon.
Cheers, Andrew
