As Fred Flintstone (see below) might say: Yabbadabbadoo! The VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) scene is starting to roll out in South Africa, set to give TELKOM a good run for its money if free enterprise and competition are left to their own market forces. It's not as cheap as SKYPE, but HowzitOnline are claiming call charges that knock 80-90% off what TELKOM will charge you to use their landline phones. And with free calls if you are calling Internet to Internet, it will make for a very interesting proposition to many.
Fred Flinstone: sadly, the voice artist for loveable Fred has died at age 85. Henry Corden was the second voice for Fred, taking over from Alan Reed in 1977. More from a CBS Entertainment story here. And a picture of Henry with Fred is here.
