Re: A new telephone system....almost free telephone calls

Not true. Telstra statistics show a drastic decline
in fixed line usage and more usage of voip and mobile.
The trend is already there, even if the pap want to
stop it, they cannot. Right now anyone outside Singapore
can talk to someone in Singapore on the computer for
FREE if they know how. For a small cost anyone
outside Singapore can call any phone in Singapore.
