Mobile system promises free calls

A new way of making calls directly between phones, for free, is being trialled by a Swedish company. The BBC reports.

"Swedish company TerraNet has developed the idea using peer-to-peer technology that enables users to speak on its handsets without the need for a mobile phone base station.

The technology is designed for remote areas of the countryside or desert where base stations are unfeasible."
