Call Someone – Without Having To Talk To Them
waderoush writes "After a long beta period, Boston-based MobileSphere launched a 'straight-to-voicemail' service yesterday called Slydial. If you call 267-SLY-DIAL and listen to a short ad, you can then be connected to the voicemail inbox of any US mobile phone subscriber, without causing their phone to ring. Sounds kinda useful — but incredibly, MobileSphere is pitching the service as a way to avoid actually communicating with all those difficult, boring people in your life. In reply to suggestions that Slydial erodes and cheapens genuine human interaction, a MobileSphere exec says the company is just combating technology with technology, by helping people take control of whether and when to talk with their friends, family, and coworkers."

Exactly. Once the M$/Apple monopoly got together and BOUGHT the politicians they needed to secure their piece of the pie, we lost the sky. Until I get a phone running Linux with free source code and the ability to connect to any open network WITHOUT ANY CHARGE ABOVE ELECTRICAL OPERATING COST, I refuse to own one.
Not until ALL transmissions of ANY kind are permitted WITHOUT REGULATION will we really have Freedom of Speech(TM).
