We did this in February with our connection with China, as well. It is a 
nice option!

Of course, the US Supreme Court ruled today that there's nothing in 
Internet service that like "telecommunications" so cable companies don't 
have to open their lines to competition like teleco's. So what we're 
doing -- with Skype, with AG -- isn't communication. Nor will it impact 
teleco's. :) :)
