Oh gosh yes. We actually own our computers. Everything modern we do should be able to operate on one with no exceptions.

You want to talk to someone across the country?

Well you'll need to pay out the ass to be a part of this ancient telephony system!

Yeah, ancient and then made modern. Let's just scrap the thing.

I'd love to find an intensive model where part of the fee goes to the connectivity provider of a wifi that you can gain access to if you have a key. It wouldn't "free" but it would be free as in access. That would reduce GSM's need to know you're exact location and velocity in order to operate and make it 100 fold more reliable that you can get on a wifi. It would be cheap too because the distance through air would be way less. We're talking about a cafe making 2 cents off of your call. When it all adds up its really going to be cheap.
