You must be joking?!?

RNKVoIP- IP Telephony - Phone for Life

For $999 US RNK, a 12 yr old telecom in Northeast US, will offer you unlimited phone service for life. Not just to US or Canada but to 22 other countries. With features that rival Vonage.

So, the question is -- how long can they possibly keep this scheme up? After about 4 yrs, as long as Vonage and others keep up the $25/month average price, RNK will be a better deal. After about 40 years of use (not including the interest RNK gained on your grand), at about 500 minutes per month average, each minute will end up costing up 0.4c. The longer and *more* you use it obviously the cheaper the service will get... Inverted logic, but attractive.

Would you spend a grand to buy into such a product? Please don't use the comment system, just email me and I will post comments.
