"In this week's pulpit, Bob describes how to properly use new software from a company called IPDrum. Basically, you use the free mobile-to-mobile feature of any major carrier to call a dedicated cell phone attached to your computer. That call is then connected to Skype, allowing you to make free cell calls just about anywhere. Just how long till someone does this on a large scale, by overselling the dedicated lines, and starts selling true unlimited cell plans?"

So, tell me, buddy; Does this spell the end of the monthly raping I endure on my basic cell plan?

I'm seriously getting sick of having to pay a monthly fee, and a service charge. Don't even get me started on the 5 dollar-per-feature bullshit we have to put up with.

Prices so high, you'd think there was no competition.

Cringely has devolved himself into a dark tipping 40 something Kevin Rose wannabe. So fucking pathetic......

If this became widespread the wireless carriers would eliminate free mobile to mobile minutes in favor of something else. Either that or they would raise prices. Yeah thanks.
