This problem was recognized many years ago, and as was pointed out in many replies to the group, the companies did go out of business. One in particular, which will rename nameless. Even after months (and quite a bit of money) working with them (and yes, I was personally involved in the testing, and in communication with both Damien the "company" on what was actually really a good product.
It is not up to Damien and his team to hand hold everyone. You can search for other companies on you own (that's what search engines are for). If I understood one of the other posts from Damien, when you use the Diamond Card service, it makes him a little money and I'm proud for him. Why do you feel that you have to be led by the hand and shown how to use the services available to you? All of the people are making money through their call services and not the software. Try setting a company like that up and you will then understand. They have to tie into fiber somewhere, and yes, they have to pay for that too. Didn't you shop around for your best rates for your home or cellular phone? Did you ask them why they were charging for the use of the software they were using which wasn't written by them? etc,etc,etc, Did you complain about that? Phone to phone, pc to phone, phone to pc. and video are conveniences. They're not meant to replace, at least at this time, your land line. And to top it off, guess what, you can do VoIP with video to another computer for free !!! You're best bet would be to go through the older gnomemeeting mailing lists to get a grasp on this problem.
