I can't answer your question, but I have one of my own: What's the catch? They can't possibly let you make calls just anywhere, can they? If they don't have a decoder and phone hook up within *every* local service area, they they're going to be paying somebody something at some time. Or is this another lame-brained "start the business and gamble that the money follows" schemes? Or do they make their money somewhere else? Or did you find a free lunch?!
