But last week William Kennard, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, pledged support for a more traditional system, in which the person dialing foots the entire bill. For the moment, though, wireless callers can save with bundled digital plans from AirTouch or Sprint PCS, which don't charge for the first incoming minute, and with Nextel, which charges by the second rather than rounding up to the next minute like most other...
