Re: Greed?

The big problem is that voice services are expensive in part because traditional switched networks are expensive to build and maintained. Packet-switched IP networks are much, much cheaper, but carriers can't depend on them for most customers. Note that 4G networks (LTE, WiMax) are intended to change all that and, once sufficiently deployed, replace ALL voice with VOIP-type services, which will save the cellcos a ton of money in infrastructure costs.
