I think he said that he wanted to call for free.
How much does free cost?

Mobile WiMax (802.16e) was ratified by the IEEE in Dec 2005. Now, all
WiMax needs is a proven revenue model, more spectrum than the almost
worthless 50MHz the FCC released on 3.65GHz, a major chipset or
handset manufactory interested in betting the company on WiMax, a
public willing to pay for the adventure (when they can get 802.11 VoIP
service almost for free), and sufficient infrastructure to compete
with conventional cellular coverage. There are WiMax system operating
today on 2.4 and 5.7GHz (mostly using Navini hardware). They're not
free and have the same interference problems as other 2.4GHz systems.
