    The basic program is available at no charge, but Zennstrom said a beefed-up version will be sold for an unspecified fee.
    I wonder if selling the program and not applying fees to the usage of the program prevent them from getting flack from other phone companies.

    If that software grows the way the intend it to, I see that as a fret to the existing phone companies and we all know what will happen then. They will start to complain. Another RIAA issue. My God does kaaza writers ever learn?
