I don't know your experience, but paying $25 USD a month for unlimited 
calling to US, Canada, Spain, etc. is a pretty good deal.

Maybe you never experienced it, but there are times not too long ago 
when you paid $0.20 (20 cents) per minute to call from one part of the 
state to another part of the same state.

Since business lines in the USA were more expensive, it makes sense 
that businesses are the ones that will benefit the most from the cost 
savings.

In PA, a business line without long distance is close to $40 a month.  
I assisted one client in getting set up with Cisco 7960s etc. and it 
was still cheaper than using landlines overall, plus they get free 
calling between offices.

When the new round of services come out, prices will drop further.
