Skype

In the interest of saving money, I was looking at Skype. People raved about it last year, when it was free. It isn't any more, and now, you can only make free calls from skype to other skype customers. It now costs money to call land lines. And for someone to call you from a land line ain't cheap either. You need to buy "Skypein" for about $60 a year (it's priced in euros), which yeah, is cheaper than my current phone at about $20 a month, but it's also in beta mode, and they clearly say you can't get 911 service with skype, so you need a phone anyway. So what's the point? Let me know when you go back to free and/or you have 911 service.
