163. Im not special

If you are paying for it you need to shop around.

Within about 3 to 5 years, long distance with the US will be universally free.

Thats not to say that some services have not increased in cost. In fact local service was subsidized by long distance for many many years.

What has changed is that services are being priced on what they cost to provide. The "last mile" has ALWAYS been the most costly in the telco business.

Still on the whole, telephony is a much much cheaper than it used to be.
