The AT&T silver bullet: A all-in-one calling plan
-

AT&T plays big with its 100 million phone lines. Starting this Sunday, its new calling plan “Unity” will offer an all-in-one home, business and wireless calling. This will allow its cellular customers to reach any AT&T landline customer without incurring additional usage fees or using their wireless minutes.
Plans are available to new and existing AT&T qualified residential and small business customers in 22 states served by the company. Phone numbers got from BellSouth right after its acquisition by AT&T will also be included.
To register, a customer would need) to have AT&T wireless service as well as a landline plan that offered unlimited local and long-distance service. AT&T’s unlimited local and long-distance landline service starts at $40 a month if bought online.
It’s the silver bullet VoIP start-ups didn’t want to see. Calls to landline and mobile phones are cheaper by this way, and doesn’t require any computer, nor any particular technical skills. Now VoIP companies would focus on international calling.

I don’t see the big disruption here. If you already must have an unlimited land line plan, what are you gaining? No penalty for cell phone minutes. With thousands of roll-over minutes anyway on Cingular, is this even an issue for most consumers?
