This thing is going to put regular land lined phone services and other voip's out of business in a year or 2

How is it not the same as VoIP? Only real difference is MagicJack has a dedicated phone network and doesnt lease like the other VoIP companies. It's still VoIP.
Quoted from the article
"
Unlike most voice-over-Internet Protocol — or VoIP — providers., YMax is licensed as a phone company in the continental U.S. and operates a wide network of servers to carry its calls. VoIP providers generally outsource that side of the business."
Quoted from their site
"many other VoIP carriers do not have dedicated telephone networks, and lease this service from other companies. This can result in higher costs and poorer reliability. magicJack uses a dedicated telephone network."
