Story: Incumbent telcos accused of plotting against VoIP

It is ludicrous that the existing analogue network providers should have so much power to prevent innovative communications solutions, which would see the cost of calls drop to near nothing. You only have to look to FRANCE typically a country which lags in the technology arena to see what is possible. In Paris for example one can get TV, telephone and broadband delivered to your home via the France telecom socket and a contract with free.fr or wanadoo.fr.
In the UK you can do like myself and purchase a VoIP phone (normally SIP protocol) and get a contract with a company such as voiptalk.org. Using their silver service I now make UK, Europe and US calls for 1p/minute and calls to other VoIP networks are completely free regardless of location. I recommend that anyone with a broadband connection goes down this route – there are substantial savings to be had.
