That's because in the US it's generally not available and... despite the fact that it uses no more resources than a voice grade line... is priced way out there compared to voice lines. Part of this is perhaps due to voice being so cheap. $10/month for unlimited calling anywhere in Houston, a city the size of Sydney. No per call or per time unit charges. (Actually a bit more than that. $11.05 plus a $3.50 line charge plus taxes) What does your phone service cost?
