questions about voip

Does anyone know about this issue with small countries wanting to tax VoIP because the infrastructure costs are greater than existing phone systems?

Are Vonage, CallAdvantage and Lingo the biggest VoIP companies?

Does anyone know how Skype works -- why is it free?

It's free because (A) the bandwidth comes from the people who are participating in the conversation, and (B) the software comes from people who are trying to upsell you to paying for PSTN termination.

Correct. Skype works more like peer to peer file exchange, therefore not compatible with the common VoIP standards. Regards, Martin
