Free SkypeOut

Skype (an eBay company) announced today free SkypeOut to landlines and mobile phones in the US and Canada until the end of 2006. What does this really mean? It means no single U.S. or Canadian person with an Internet connection, dial-up included, has to pay for long-distance phone calls. For the rest of the year. No matter what. Seems eBay's investment is paying off big-time for consumers, and the telcos are going to be hating this because one of their massive cash cows just disappeared.
