Unless I am missing something, I think that ooma is absolutely unsustainable as a business model. Essentially, it uses a hack method to avoid paying fees to the telephone carriers. If people did actually begin using ooma en masse then the telephone providers would receive no income and ooma would have to take over the land lines (it will be sued out of business long before that point) and begin charging more as it would have the responsibility of maintaining those lines. Essentially, it seems to me, ooma is attempting to circumvent the necessity to pay for the telephone carriers anything, and while I agree that the telecomm companies can be abusive of their powers, they still have to make some money, if only to maintain the infrastructure.
