Re: [ws-rx]Conference Call Logistics (was"Prelim Minutes of WSRX TC Conf call 7/7")

We may wish to consider Freeconference.com.  The conference portion is 
free however there are no toll free lines.  That way cost is shared 
amongst all participants.  $10k per month to host calls is a bit steep.

I have never understood why some think that TC's should provide toll 
free numbers.  Why does one company have to cover another company's cost 
for participation?
