Free Landline Calls

I for one welcome our new Communications Overlords. The New York Times reports some good news for we who live under the thumb of Ma Bell:

In an announcement expected Friday, AT&T will introduce AT&T Unity, a pricing package that allows its cellular customers to call any AT&T landline customer without incurring additional usage fees or using their wireless minutes. While AT&T wireless customers can already call each other free, the new plan will extend the program on a large scale to landline customers, enlarging what AT&T likes to call its “community.”
