Anyone know whats taking so long for Google Voice to become available in Canada? How are you planning to compete with free when it is available? I'd love to see conference calls and virtual programmable ivr as a added service.

Calling land lines is soo year 2000. I need a local number and a SIP number that forwards to my phone or takes a voicemail if i don't answer.

It's because of the intense competition between Canada's phone providers.

Unfortunately the intense competition is limited to the golf course - the rest of the time they are free to fix charges, limit services and ensure that their friends in government keep out any competition
