    This isn't news. Packet8 has had this plan for months.

    Broadvoice and a couple of others have been offering free international plans (~$25) for a while now.

    hmmm, interesting. I thought I vaguely heard at least one ITSP was doing it but wasn't sure. Come to find out there are a few. My bad.

    I wonder why flat-rate international dialing didn't cause more hooplah when it first happened?
