Stafford, thanks for the comments, interesting reading. I'm not a technical
expert on this, but I do have a 'gut' feeling that within 10 years we will
have flat-rate worlwide calling, at least in the "developed" world. And of
course, many countries in the "developing" world will by then have
state-of-the-art phone systems as well, since they are currently
leapfrogging old technologies, as their installed base is so bad as to be
useless.
That doesn't mean that, sitting in the USA, I will be able to call a tiny
rural village in Vietnam for a few pennies a minute. They still won't have
many phones. But it does mean that I will be able to call a hotel in Hanoi
for practically nothing.
