Wish Granted...

Rennie recently had a conversation with Angel while Angel had a completely different conversation with Rennie. Huge misunderstanding and laughs were had by all. Anyway the cause of this misunderstanind was VOIP phones. By now most people who like to read about technology know what this is. It basically lets you make unlimited calls anywhere in the US through broadband. Its usually cheaper than most long distance plans and easy to use. Well Angel was telling Rennie about one such service and Rennie misunderstood and thought he was talking about a cell phone that lets you do that. Well as it turns out, now there is such technology on the way. Wired News reports about a company offering you cheap unlimited cell phone calls. The problem is that you would have to pay a little extra monthly and dial extra numbers. It would basically be like using a phone card. You dial a number, that number is linked to another phone wiht whatever carrier you use (so you need to have free mobile to mobile for this to work) and then that phone is connected to a device that lets it make the VOIP call. Pretty cool, right? Phone companies are getting a little peeved about this type of thing but I think it would be pretty cool. At the very least it might make them change some of their prices. On the other hand it could lead to napster-size lawsuits. In other words, I predict big things for the future. Just watch.
