Sorry, I'm down on the 'reeks of greed' side. Like years ago when the Postal Service was trying to charge a fee for every email sent, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with email, AT&T is feeling the crunch of advancing technology leaving them behind. With widespread usage of mobile phones and VOIP systems on the rise, they are feeling the pinch as fewer people use their land line phone system. Instead of trying to update their ideas and services, they are trying to get a bigger cut from these people.
