T-Mobile to Offer Low-Cost UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) This Year

"Chipmaker Royal Philips Electronics confirmed that a U.S. cellular carrier will launch voice-over-Wi-Fi technology this year, based on Philips' new Nexperia 6120 chipset. Callers should be able to make calls on their home Wi-Fi networks for 'a couple of bucks a month, flat rate,' according to Philips' Carsten Schimanke."
Are you tired of T-Mobile lagging behind the other carriers when it comes to advanced data capabilities? How about using any accessible wireless access point for your VoIP needs? How about only paying a few dollars a month to get that service? Sound too good to be true? It certainly does to me. The technical capability for mobile phones to make VoIP calls using WiFi was not news to me; what was a surprise to me is that one of the major service carriers is actually planning to support it. Your thoughts?
