IPkall numbers are recycled. I have several. Google Voice numbers are free (in the US). I have one of them too. None of them are subscribed to premium services. None are set up with call credits. Funny how free accunts with no billingon file don't get slammed.
I have ATT as a phone only. No smart phone, no camera, no data plan. They somehow seem to slam me on a regular basis and assume my plan includes data by default. I have to call them once in a while asking how I got a SMS with no data contract. When the data plan goes away again, so does any 3rd party billing if any.
I text with my Google Voice for free, not on a data plan + SMS pn top.

In some places include the mobile and remote. In my case, I picked up a pannel for the motorhome. Payback on the house is beyond the life of the panel at current electric rates with hydro, wind, and large scale solar nearby. On the motorhome, the longer I can leave the gas generator shut off the better I and my neighbors like it. Besides, electric generation with a motorhome genset is not in parity with local grid rates, thus the payback is measured in a few summers on the road.
For most source material, this is true. Take a Denon Technical Audio CD from way back when, recorded from a digital source (the original DDD mastering) and play it on any current system. Use the 20Hz to 20 KHZ sweep.. I have not found a system yet that does not have ailising at the upper end of the sweep that is audiable. This is UNCOMPRESSED 16 bit 44.1 KHZ stereo encoding.
You may be able to find the track online, but avoid any compressed versions of it. Compression makes the matters much worse.
I've never tried using VLC to play a DVD. I'll have to check that out. I use VLC for most other media on Linux. It just plays what I throw at it. A reboot to Geexbox takes care of DVDs.
Neilson has stagnated along with Buggy Whip manufactures. Most of the posts here are in regards to Static TV which is dying. We still consume media and this created a vacuum. This is being rapidly filled by a competitor. -- Arbitron. Listen to MP3's.. they want to know. Listen to a radio at work? they want to know. Listen to the traffic report in your car on your commute? they want to know.
Now I carry a pager type device to listen to the encoded audio in broadcasts.. even if it is from a torrent, youtube, MP3, OTA, Cable..
Sneakernet is still alive in the US. Check your kid's ipod. Where did he get the content? Most of it is likely from the Sneakernet. Many kids don't have the money to blow in iTunes.

I've not had a spam problem with Gtalk or my SIP account with a Google Talk gateway. This means that I can't pick up my VOIP phone anymore and speed dial a Gtalk user.
This has very little impact as there are very few who have Gtalk and not Skype. I can call and be called with the Skype gateway instead.
Instructions:
To call from ippi to Skype, dial "skype_username@skype.ippi.com" then start the call
I guess calling Gtalk users may be broken now.
Instructions:
To call from ippi to Gtalk, dial "google_username@gtalk.ippi.com" then start the call
I can't find a reference to it at the moment, but a community was opposed to cell towers due to radiation. This caused much problems for anyone trying to build infrastructure in the area. One provider put up some towers and the residents complained that the towers radiation made them ill and the improvement on reception was only marginal.
In a review with the community leaders, they invited them to tour the facilities while they measured the field strength. The tour revealied that there was no equipment installed. The towers were installed early to measure the baseline illness so when the equipment was installed, that illness that was attribuitable to the radiation can be measured.
I wonder how much the baseline changed when the equipment arrived.
Encrypted SIP may be more secure, but does nothing to hide your IP address. A recently mentioned encrypted SIP client is Jitsi. https://jitsi.org/ Not sure if it if capturing keys for a man in the middle attack is difficult. A MIM attack by Russia should only be possible when crossing a Russian server. US and Carnivor abilities is unknown.
Many VOIP systems are based on open standards and do intropolate well with other standards. My VOIP provider provides a gateway to/from Skype, to/from Google Talk, and to/from POTS. I can get DID numbers in many countries. I can get trunk lines to POTS, or simply stay in the SIP to SIP market. There are so many SIP providers, SIP Broker has evolved to keep track of all their gateways. Have a friend on VIATALK, you can call him with POTS, or call by SIP with the gateway.
I use an old Yagi UHF antena from the country back when city VHF broadcasts were telecast on UHF to the country. It works great using an antenna that was built before digital TV was even a concept.
The effect on business is real. Areas with those cameras are areas I intentionaly avoid. I avoid the business in the area too. I make it clear when new cameras go in, that I let the business know I won't be going there anymore as it is motorist unfriiendly.. I won't be back until a welcome mat replaces the driver snares out front.
I got stung by one of the white roadside vans.. Haven't done business there (was a gas stop) in over a decade. I leave it to the merchants to decide if that was a good idea.
This is sabre ratteling and nothing more. The US still has the mutualy assured destruction plan to prevent the use of nukes. An attack whould be the end of N Korea and they know it as destruction is assured. This is what kept the US and Russia from trading barbs for a long time during the cold war and eventualy led to peace. We watched each other carefully, then figured each other was worried someone would do something stupid. It never happened.
It would be unfortunate if N Korea did something stupid and triggered the assured destruction portion of the plan.
The US is not going to drop nukes first. A pre-emptive strike won't prevent a return due ot the run silent run deep capibility.
Jitsi is a SIP client.. It works with ippi and iptel as mentiioned above. Add this to a list of SIP clients listed above, some which support encryption and video.
The competing standards are SIP, standard audio codecs, and H.264 video confrencing.
Skype is propritory. SIP is standards based. Skype is for Skype only with payments required to make (Skype out) and/or receive (skype in) calls to normal telephone. Skype out and Skype in can be only purchased from one vendor.
Unlike Skype, a SIP provider can provide any and/or all of the components. Depending on provider (many) you can mix and match as you like.
Free SIP accounts can be obtined from Ekiga, Iptel, ippi, and others. Many provide free voicemail, and other features such as a gateway to Google Voice and Skype. Call your SIP friends, your Google Talk Friends, and Skype friends all with the same provider.. (personal plug.. ippi.com provides a free skype and google talk gateways) Google it.
Free softphones compatible with SIP are numerous, some of which enable encryption, including the one featured in this slashdot article. Free softphones can be obtained from Ekiga, Twinkle, iptel, ippi, and others.
Hardware phones compatibe with SIP are numberous including offerings from Cisco;/Linksis, Grandstream, Panasonic, and others. No need to keep your computer on to use it. Some even include a vidoe phone.
There are many providers of DID numbers that do the same as Skype in. You can have multiple numbers including 800, local, overseas, etc. Some providers even offer a DID number for free. IPkall is a good source for a free USA phone number. Think Skype-in but free.
You can buy a calling plan to permit placing calls. This is generaly not free, but quite cost effective.
You can tie them together in your own free open source PBX.. such as Asterisk.
If you want to buy an all in one package plan, providers such as Century Link, Comcast, Magic Jack, Ooma, Net2Phone, Vonage etc all offer complete packages for plug and play operation with less flexibility than mix and match.
Combining SIP and Google Talk allows me to place calls from Google, and receive my calls on a VOIP phone, even whtn the computer is off. After moving to SIP, I hardly use Skype at all.
There is demand for full speed desktop chips with multi cores, sipping low power. Watch demand expand the offerings. Even in a sluggish economy, Intel has figured out that higher performance at lower cost drives sales.
Sitting on a major junction on the backbone at work shows a fast last mile isn't that great when many smaller ISP's under buy connection to the backbone, or servers are virtualized instead of clustered. Facebook runs fast, but big deal. A faster connection is of little use for Netflix or Hulu if normal broadband is enough to prevent pauses for buffering.
Price the fiber for the better streaming load times. Most potential customers don/t want to pay for commercial server bandwidth when the TOS limit it to consumer media consumption.
Offer it with IPV6 static IP's, encourage use of Asterisk or other services for your IP phones home and abroad. Offer secure tunneling for work at home. Allow hosting your own video conference on your own server. In other words show value for the bandwidth beyond a better ping time in a game, or Netflix load time. Offer it with your own domain name. Advertise it for work at home, not home media consumption.
$35/mo for bumdled phone is stupid when other services are under $3/month with greater services. Drop the triple play service cramming to jack up the price. Lets face it, you use your smart phone even when at home to text, not a POTS phone on a cable VOIP connection. This little used service is there just to spread out the Internet cost. so internet seems cheaper. I would rather have cheap bandwidth than overpay for bumdled services
Don't watch passive pay TV? Why pay for it in a bundle. Bundling is to hide the feal price for broadband. Cost to provide basic VOIP is much less than advertised.

And yes they pay you to carry the meter all day if you are in a test market. I expect them to continue to expand.

If you need to hide your IP for a Skype session, use a SIP to Skype gateway.
