Brian, Could we have an article (or a link to one) with an explanation and evaluation of all the alternatives to a landline, both for telephone calls and broadband? What are the dis/advantages of using Skype, etc instead of a phone? I didn't know satellite phones were an 'everyday' piece of kit now. Are there any big changes in the offing?
