I got that point. The part I don't get is how the $0.05/min keeps out competitors. It is quite easy to "rent" an 800 number to use to get quite cheap communications with people in foreign countries.
We're getting pretty far off topic here - as well as pretty far away from reality - but the problem is that BT charges you the same five cents per minute for "800 numbers". If you dial a non-BT toll-free number, they charge you by the minute. (You can get around this only by getting off of BT's network.)
