Taking a cue from the cellular industry, Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC) announced a pricing plan that provides free calls between any voice-over-IP calls on its network. The service, VOIP Community Peering, responds to the growing demand for more compelling returns-on-investment for VOIP and also underscores the demand for more innovative VOIP services from the carriers.

The offering essentially lets organizations create VOIP extranets, allowing business partners or divisions of large enterprises to leverage the benefits of on-net VOIP without creating a private-number dialing plan.
