(although I couldn't care less about Bell, being from Europe and all) But be aware that said regulation allows us to make emergency calls reliably in the case of an accident and then quickly talk to loved ones on the other side of the globe by hitting 10 buttons on a device everyone understands.

Given the choice between all instant messaging services closing shop or the a breakdown of the phone system, I know which one I would pick.
