Sorry you can't make it. Glad you like the idea!

I think it will be more difficult for people to determine this today -
most people probably won't have SIP accounts that allow them to make
paid calls, and without actually testing calls to traditional networks
we can't get a firm result.

I agree it's a very important feature to have, but I expect that
today's focus will be on computer to computer calls via the Internet.
There's scope for a similar event focusing on this functionality in
future, though.

Best,

Sam.
