Skype: how to change the game!
In Italy you can choose what telephone operator you want, but the prices are still unacceptable!
Once, when the first cellular phones invaded the market, a single minute of call from your home to a mobile phone was something like 1€ a minute. For a while all the operators (mobile or not) start a campaign to win a good share of the cows (we). For a while the prices fell down incredibily, like italians had understood the word “business competition“.
For a while, because one day it seemed that every operator changed their directions, like they were satisfied of their market share. All the operators shared the same prices, maybe with some little differences (little.. very little). Every new company that was enetering in the market proposed itself with Extra Saving Techniques for some days, ending aligning themselves to the other, Telecom Italia (the devil) at first place.
Isn’t it called cartel?
Yesterday I’ve sent my order, and I will receive my new home phone in a week or so…
Yesterday I’ve sent my credit card number for the first 10€ of phone calls…
Yesterday I’ve called some people, as I usually do, but not with my cell phone…
Yesterday I’ve spent 32€ cent instead of 2,50€!
YESTERDAY I STARTED USING SKYPE!
Someone has told me that Skype does not follow the Sip standards.
he is right
He told me that it is closed source.
he is right
He told me that it uses a connection that is not completely scalable.
he is right
what he didn’t tell me is that Skype is a technology that everyone can use!
Do you want to change the game, telling the monopolistic idiots that we are not cows to milk? Do you want to save your money, investing it for something more important? Do you want to use that money to buy a new, faster ADSL to keep in touch with the reality unskimmed by the Italian Censorship?
So use Skype, use Voip, tell Telecom Italia and all the other bastards that their “Happy Days” are over! Their Happy Days in which they were monopolistic, their Happy Days in which or you were with them or you were alone, their Happy Days in which they were the only choice availabe!
The global knowledge can grant us the freedom to know, the freedom to choose, the freedom to boycott those who still think we are cows to be milked!
You can call me directly to my skype phone (You can see if I’m on line in the link at the top
