All valid points but a bit of FUD in there for good measure. Here’s what I do. I kept my PSTN line, but I got myself a outbound VoIP service from Yak.com. For $9.99 a month I get 600 minutes of no charge N.American calling (boht local and LD) plus access to some pretty low international rates. Since my program outbound service, I don’t get calls from the PSTN which is OK with me. I basically use it to reduce my long distance charges. I was paying 9 cents to Portugal now I pay 2 cents.

Great post Om, I commented about this myself (giving 8 reasons why I don’t use VoIP at home) on my blog at http://www.irwinlazar.com/

Just ugly rumors.

This is hilarious! Om Malik is talking about the rose-colored glasses that some folks seem to be wearing when the discuss VoIP. He points to Lance Ulanoff’s five reasons why he doesn’t have VoIP and the indirectly to Russell Shaw’s…
