These are pretty common plans over here even for enterprises smaller than the BBC. A friend in a medium sized taxpayer funded organisation recently related the following: that organisation had just invested considerably into their PABX, particularly into toll authorisation and billing. Shortly after this was introduced they realised that the national toll volume sharply decreased. They were just about to declare a serious victory for effective cost control when they realised that this was due a change in the corporate GSM plan that allowed essentially free national calling and people in the organisation were making the right choice ;-) This suggests a much simpler solution to this whole problem: Give all the people in the office cell phones for intra-organisational calling. Lacks some call management features, and certainly lacks geek satisfaction, but costs very little to implement....... Daniel
