It is surprising how many places that one can get a broadband wireless signal on an iPhone, but not a usable ATT signal.

With the advent of true WiFi roaming millions of city dwellers will have zero cost options. Voice calls whether over land line or 3G are not a sustainable source of revenue for them.

The problem with the carriers is their business models have not caught up with where technology is at the moment. The ludicrous voice plans have allowed the carriers to make pots of money by charging more than telcos charge for fixed line calls. But the thing is, it should be cheaper to deliver calls wirelessly, than through wires. Just think about the vastly different cost structure. Of course I would use Skype to make phone calls.
