Riiighht. Because the phone companies are such shining examples of this so called "free" market.

As much as I'd love free national wifi, (And I do think its a great idea) I've got no illusions about it being high quaily enough to carry voice calls for a long time.

There will always be space for the traditional carriers to provide high quality wired connections. The truly ironic thing is that this will force them to actually compete with something, so the great big socialist internet project will make the telecom markets more free!
