AT&T Joins Fray for Cheaper Calls Through the Web

AT&T Joins Fray for Cheaper Calls Through the Web: "The battle over the future of telephone service will break wide open today with an announcement from AT&T that it plans to offer unlimited long-distance and local calling using Internet technology at a lower cost than conventional phone service.
The move, disclosed by industry executives close to the company, comes after announcements this week from Time Warner Cable that it would provide phone service in many areas where it offers high-speed Internet connections and television access and from the BT Group of Britain that it would offer Internet-based telephone service to its customers."
