Here’s another great IHT story, this one from Clifford J. Levy. It’s a playful look at the psychological complications involved in using an Internet phone service to forward local calls to your cell phone abroad. (I use Skype to receive calls dialed to a DC area code number; they’re sent straight to my cell phone here in Bangkok.)
I really love Skype; a few months back, I enjoyed a unique conference call between my brother Mechum and our hometown friend Hayes O. I was here in Bangkok, Mechum was at home in Seoul, and Hayes was chatting with us on his cell phone while riding his bike near his house in Beijing.
