That is a bare faced pig ignorant lie. You can in fact
make a reasonable length call to a mobile for the cost
of a landline local call with MNF and any decent vsp.

It appears he is actually talking about making calls TO a mobile service from Skype or MNF.

Thats certainly what the PC World article was talking about.

MNF is certainly not blocked from using mobile networks and neither is skype.
