It depends. It's not free yet for us (in Russia).

But we are talking about two tendencies. One are decreasing of bandwidths 
charges. Other is the quality of protocols (such as RSVP and multicast's 
applications) - now this is not usable issues yet.

Guess what happen first - this issues will be realised by the proper way, 
or charges decrease to the values when RSVP and coimplex QoS mechanisms 
have not any importance?
