[asterisk-biz] Wanted: US unlimited

[Mitul Limbani]

Well, there is no such thing as unlimited. They are just sales gimmicks 
and work on law of averages, so even if 10% of users exceed 950 
minutes/month, other users may subsidize the effect.

So people searching for unlimited stuff are kinda wasting their time.

I guess we can end up this topic here, since its going to be debatable 
for ages.

Again those are my $0.02
