Why did Skype make US calling from India free?
Speculating (because Microsoft hasn’t published why they decided to offer free calls to mobile and landlines in the United States and Canada from India”):Getting Growth. Buying market share in one of the world’s fastest growing telecom markets is a good investment. Skype brings Metcalfe's Law to Microsoft, so a more complete Indian social graph adds enormous value to the rest of the MSFT business lines.Avoiding Indian government regulation. Only American and Canadian regulators have jurisdiction because calls “terminate” (connect to the phone systems) in the US and Canada, .Asymmetric Buying Power. Calls from the US to India are more affordable at US wages and with US currency than in the other direction, especially if you widen Skype’s reach to poorer Indian communities.

How can I make free computer to landline calls??
Hard to believe that some people think that Skypes $2.95/month for Unlimited PC-to-Landline calls is tooooo costly.... I guess the word "costly" is a very relative term these days... http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/subscriptions/#uscaSubscriptionTab But, then again, I guess there is nothing cheaper than absolutely Free like with Jaduka Labs "EarthCaller": http://labs.jaduka.com/earthcaller And, when I say FREE, I mean No Money and No Charge Cards, and No Contracts, No Gimmicks. I suppose someone will think that is too expensive too.... EarthCaller is free be cause it is in Beta Development phase. They want people to try it out.... for free. That's what Skype originally did. And now look at Skype 3 years later.... the scoundral.... they are charging a whopping $2.95/month for unlimited USA/Canada calling.... shame on them....... :)
