Google offers free voice calls in US and Canada via Gmail

Google is taking on internet telephone companies like Skype by allowing users to call from its free web-based email service.
The service allows users to make calls to landlines and mobiles from inside their Gmail account.
Phoning anywhere in the US and Canada will be free until the end of the year, while calls to the UK, France, China and Germany will cost 2 cents a minute.

Now that sounds interesting..

So not free for the UK which is what we all care about ;) perhaps a title change?

More clogging up of the networks without anybody paying for the infrastructure in order to properly build and support it.
