A couple of recent articles in the Washington Post  today are about the Internet Phone revolution that is taking place over there.

In the UK - nothing. 

I got an Internet Phone and signed up with a local company but frankly I don't use it..  In fact I don't think it works any more and i can't be bothered to try and fix it.  Its not reliable enough and the savings don't compensate.  Most UK VOIP companies try to be 'cheaper than BT' rather than 'cheaper than One-tel'.   So I am back to my old long-distance carrier. 

Why is our experience so different to the US?

1. Is the difference because of inherent differences in the Telephone industries

2. Is the different because of different attitutudes to entrepreurship

3. are we just running the normal 1-2 years behind?

        Yes, the availability of broadband is obviously an issue., the cost needs to come down.  When my phone was working (on broadband) latency was not the issue, but there were inter ...
