  1. Re:Per-minute charge? on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    I guess the whole point of this sytem is being missed.

    Consider these....
    a) Not all countries charge for incoming calls.
    b) This system gives the cheapest way of POTS to POTS communication by using a VOIP bridge in between, thus taking out the most expensive piece.
    c) Cost of one Call now is
    (c2c cost one)+skype cost+(c2c cost two)
    c2c cost one, technically is free if planned properly
    skype cost, technicaly is also free
    c2c cost, technically can be free if planned properly

    There are quite a few limitations of this system, but is definitely a good start.

    d) Voice quality and Lag will definitely be a challenge
    e) There are legal challenges, in a few countries it is *illegal* to connect PSTN to IP network.

    Are you sure a mile is only 1.6 km?

    Interestingly, I have seen folks phish for Yahoo and Gmail accounts. I do not see how a phisher can benefit from this? Are there any known/reported cases of Man in the Middle attacks? wikipedia

    There is quite a bit of literature available on this subject. checkout http://www.tricipher.com/docs/Phishing%20Solution% 20Whitepaper%203.05.pdf/
