Agree. Somehow people think all computer driven systems are "free". Unfortunately, you need hardware such as servers, routers, switches all of which have to be maintained and eventually replaced. You need a network administrator and probably a programmer, as well as some worker bees to monitor the system. You need space for the equipment, which has to be kept quite cool, both of which cost $$$. And despite all this it only costs $8/month, and for those who don't want to pay even that, there is an alternative----the phone (Alexander Graham Bell, 1876)
