Here in Australia,
STD calls (over 50km?) are billed per minute.
My understanding is that our entire population (approx 14 mill) is
equivalent to that of New York. Unfortunately (from an infrastructure
perspective) this population is spread over an area the size of the USA.
This means that telecoms costs are high.
This is not actually a problem for net connections here, as most national
ISP's provide a 'local call' number to dail.
