Dylan, yes, exactly. In Japan, they have had to restrict Skype to Wi-Fi use on iPhones because of a similar issue to Google, and they didn't want to kill their voice market. Stupid, stupid--trying to preserve an obsolete business model when the new model could be so much more robust.

Bump up the price on data just a tad, use the money to boost 3G bandwidth so more people get faster speeds and are thus not so apt to complain about the higher prices, and start offering pure data plans, et voila--new business model for a new communications market.
