Money back for VoIP In-bound?

I saw this comment on Slashdot and it made me wonder whether this is really the case. Are there VoIP providers offering money off/back for customers with incoming calls? What would the business model for the VoIP provider even be on this? If I could speculate, perhaps this is the result of some oddball settlement regime in Poland. Anywho, here’s the post:

I’ve got VoIP phone from my cable provider. Nothing special, it’s Europe/Poland, so nothing as fancy as unlimited national etc, but cheaper and more reliable that monopolistic national telco. If I got spams on it I’d welcome them with “could you wait just a sec” and happily counted 0.03pln (about $0.01) per minute I get for incoming calls off my bill

This post appeared in the Slashdot discussion on Vonage and VoicePule launching their own Video over IP offerings. My own take on these annoucements is to wonder aloud why would someone shell out for an expensive videophone when computer accessories that do the same job (such as Apple’s iSight) can be had so much more cheaply. I still haven’t shelled out for anything like the iSight yet– I struggle to see the real application of being able to see somebody while I’m talking to them– possible exceptions being limited opportunities for group conversations and perhaps some naughty possibilities. One of the things I’ve always liked about voice communication and standard IM is that you can multitask while it’s going on. Video kind of closes that window and locks you into one place at one time.
