Elementary, dear sir. With TELCO's there's an agreement (a service) of who 
pays for the pleasure. With VoIP however that same agreement has not been 
made, and I doubt it will for a long time.

With VoIP you enjoy very low rates, but you pay for everything. VoIP has not 
been around and had all the "kinks", or different ways things can be done,  
worked on for very long.
