The telecoms started to fuck over the general public as soon as they saw VoIP as a way to charge people for something that should have been free from the start. I say fuck you to the big telecoms, they've been raping everyone for decades with expensive phone rates just because they can. I mean look at the companies now. Suddenly they are able to offer flat rate per month calling plans where you can call anyone in your country for about $35/mo or so. Where was that plan 20 years ago? They said they didn't have the technology, well, that's totall bullshit, because they didn't have to input it, so they didn't do it. It's all a big game of politics really, and as much as I'm a huge fan of capitalism and making as much money as possible, sometimes there has to be a line drawn on what you can charge a lot for, and what you can't.
