You want to know how much it costs to make a 10-minute call to New York from London? From a payphone, $15.70. From a T-Mobile or Cingular cellphone (American handsets that work overseas), $3.40 to $12.90. From your hotel room phone, $58. Perhaps it would be cheaper just to fly home.


These rates reflect a gigantic disconnect between the olden days and the new ones. Why pay for the privilege of transmitting your voice along aging copper cables buried under the ocean, when the Internet is capable of transmitting it free?
