then you should do something about it.. no one should pay by the minute
anymore...

i'm sure the USA people will be able to tell you more about it, but here's
the situation in (rural!) canada, (have in mind that the population density
in saskatchewan is around 3 people/km^2)...

phone -- base is $11 CND, free local phone calls.. (I personally buy prepaid
        phone cards to call overseas)

internet -- $45 CND; home.com cable modem, 200K/sec downloads, 30K/s uploads

the ones who live outside the cities and really want internet use a satelite
connection for their uplink, their requests usually go through a phone
line..

i know this is well known to most of the people who live on the west side of
the atlantic, but having to pay per minute for local phone calls is kind of
outrageous these days..
