so many phone companies are offering free long distance anymore to compete 
with cell phones (and of course, most, if not all cell phones are free long 
distance) that I think we'll get to a point where anyone in the US will be 
able to call anyone in the US without paying extra.

Then there are always services like Vonage... :)

I plan to get an asterisk server set up and bring in vonage (or similar) and 
FWD for carrier service.  Should be a nice fun little project.
