 <title>VOIP is not cheating anyone.  It is simply the future arriving.</title>
 <link>http://www.itskeptic.org/node/74</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;VOIP is a disruptive technology.  As always, those being disrupted complain loudly.  But there is nothing dishonest about using VOIP.  You buy the bandwidth - you use it as you see fit.  The telcos better adapt to VOIP or die.  But those using VOIP are just doing what captialists are supposed to do; exercising their prerogative in an open market.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;These are ugly times for telcos, a topic I look forward to exploring a little more on this blog.  Today&#039;s topic is VOIP and the anti-competitive behaviours that would logically induce in a telco.  Let me share with you a recent email from my broadband ISP.  First some background.  My ISP is a telco, the big dominant telco.  They also provide me phone lines.  Actually they try to pretend they don’t, by branding the ISP arm as an excitingly named subsidiary, but it is a pointless sham really when it all comes on one convenient monthly bill.&lt;/p&gt;
