Whatever they do I will stay with Skype its the right choice.
As for ATT and International carriers: I am tired of paying those thieves for speaking with my family.

@yoshi: For that matter, so does NTT. And I'm willing to bet...something that BT and Telekom have VoIP too. Link it all and bam, there it is. Easier said than done, but it's not like they have to build from scratch.

What's interesting Brian is AT&T already offers VoIP. They call it CallVantage and U-Verse Voice/Phone. For AT&T customers it's $19.99 for non-customers it's $24.99. The big difference is they will connect and wire the VoIP TA to your existing phone line network in the house.

Unless AT&T is developing a seperate application to Skype, they have the service and are using it to stabalize land line loss.
