oh, you're suggesting all calls are per-minute, including landlines and VOIP. realistically, wouldn't that logic extend to all the internet, we should all pay

oh, you're suggesting all calls are per-minute, including landlines and VOIP. realistically, wouldn't that logic extend to all the internet, we should all pay for traffic, to and from servers? i think "phones" are a dying tech, and proper legal constraints and controls on the tech we pay for would be easier. i don't see why i can't pre-approve callers, or limit inbound calls to my Favorites/VIP list. Treating phones like "telephones" is one of the problems, treating phones like tech would make solutions easier to implement.
