Um, your math is as bad as Verizon's:

0.4 cents == $0.004

0.4 cents is 4 tenths of a cent which is 4/10ths of a cent.

I think I am too -- I disregarded Jai's DIDs because I read it in the past
as 4 cents ($0.04) per minute, not 4 tenths of a cent ($0.004) per minute.
$0.004 makes his metered inbound sexier (assuming "unlimited"
channels).

So Jai --

USD$1.00 per month + $0.04/minute
OR
USD$1.00 per month + $0.004/minute

Can we please all just use US dollars to say how much things are? If you
watch the video, it's clear people are stupid, and don't understand
converting between units (cents to dollars). I hate it when people quote
in cents. I hate rate sheets in cents. Please, use dollars with a lot of
zeros. If you charge $0.004 per minute, say $0.004, not 0.4 cents. There
is a reason the cents character is hard to type.

I'm guessing it's because I want it in dollars.
