You're absolutely right.

I hope, though, that no one is letting this distract them from the environmental and national resource damage of the meat they're eating. Precious little of the cattle being eaten by Americans or Europeans is being fed on healthy, unirrigated grasslands.

My basic phone line (required for DSL to "ride on", and used for the DirecTiVo) costs me $17/month. SBC certainly has an economy of scale advantage over Vonage.
