This pricing model allows the carrier to charge far more per call. 
Europeans pay more than 2x per minute, but since the cost is widely 
distributed the subscriber doesn't notice it. Therefore I'm surprised 
that this wasn't adopted in the U.S.! The problem is that in most 
countries you know by the prefix or area code whether or not you're 
calling a cell phone, while in the U.S. you don't.
