Many telecom companies abroad offer such service (I mean - on top of their own copper wires, in addition to independent VoIP providers). I suppose the justification is that the market is already there and competes with them on the "early adopters" segment and the technologies will eventually find their way to the mainstream (and already became mainstream in many markets abroad). If they ignore it they'll be left further behind than if they start playing the game now. Apparently you can get exactly the same service already using hundreds of foreign VoIP providers (see the earlier-mentioned voip-info.org and myvoipprovider.com for a start).
