VoIP Price War Declared

gardel writes "Voxilla reports that a VoIP price war was declared today. An announcement that AT&T would drop its prices for its CallVantage Service from $34.99 to $29.99 per month was followed quickly by an announcement that Vonage would drop the price on its unlimited calling plan to $25 a month from the previous $29.99. Analysts say the price cuts show the VoIP market is not only competitive, but it's serious."

Just wait until they throw in a free webcam and 500,000 free minutes usable only in the first week of service.

But seriously, why doesn't anyone sell a regular-looking phone wiht two jacks, one for a phone line and the other for ethernet. Plug in the phone line and it works like a normal phone. Plug in the ethernet and it uses some standard, open, free VOIP direct connection to whatever IP address or domain name you type in. These would be cheap to make and involve nomonthly fees. IP addresses aren't any harder to remember or speed dial than phone numbers.

I'll tell you why nobody makes it. It's because the're all a bunch of filthy dumb fucks that couldn't run a consumer-friendly business if you shoved hundred dollar bills up their asses all day long.

p.s. somebody should set up an anonymous VOIP peer-to-peer phone sex site.

p.p.s. ha ha look at me posting again after my subnet was banned! suckers
