Could be but I still call to UM from the Netherlands from 8 eurocents per minute and there are other carriers at 10 or 12 or 14 cents per minute.

Also I do not see a reason for UM to really ask much more. If rates to their number go up this way they will become less popular and less people will use UM. So if it is UM that increases their rates this will turn back on them.
