OMG! Will they PLEASE get citywide WiFi!!!
I just paid my Skype bill, which is $7.95 for 3 months of unlimited calls to the U.S.A. and Canada btw and I can't help but be pissed because the city council here has been promising city wide WiFi since I moved here! Man if they do that,I'll buy a $100 Skype WiFi phone (or use my PSP) and a cheap pre-paid phone and be done with it!!! Seriously,Skype is the shit!!!

Lucky fuck! I'm sure the mobile carriers are lobbying their asses off against it but someday..... the only one that is getting somewhat on the bandwagon is T-Mobile with their mobile/voip phones. If you are in a wireless environment,like your home,it uses WiFi. If you're out and about...mobile. |

I didn't know you could make regular phone calls with skype. I thought you could just call skype numbers.. Maybe I'll go for this instead of fucking Magic Jack.. that shit is a real rip off.

Can you port your old number over to Skype so people can call you on it?

With tax revenues down from the recession, I wouldn't count on it any time soon! I actually thought most of the cheap wide-area Wi-Fi projects had shut down for being too unprofitable.
Anyway, I'm paying $600/month for a T1 line to my house because it was the only way to get reliable, low-latency broadband, so all y'all can just bite me
