The program, which routes calls over the Internet rather than traditional phone networks, gained global popularity by being among the first to offer high-quality calls for free, said Allen Weiner, an analyst at Gartner Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The climb also comes amid rapidly rising unemployment and continued tightness in the credit markets, which makes it tough for consumers to refinance existing loans.

The company, which neither admitted nor denied the commission's findings, said in a statement it was "pleased" to settle the matter.
"Citi has worked diligently with issuers, investors, and regulatory authorities to work toward solutions in the auction-rate securities market," the company said. "We have made progress on our efforts to help provide liquidity to our clients and remain committed to continuing our work on these initiatives."
A spokeswoman declined to answer additional questions.
The commission said the investigation into Citigroup's role in the marketing of auction-rate securities was part of a larger effort to address problems in connection with such investments.
During the investigation, regulators said they discovered that Citigroup failed to adequately inform customers and train employees on the risks associated with buying auction-rate securities.
Auction-rate securities are long-term investments subject to a complex auction process that, upon failure, can lead to illiquidity and lower interest rates, the commission said.
How will Arizona's housing market be impacted by the southern California fires?

I feel that this will create a movement to Arizona and help with the saturated housing market. I specifically would like to know about the impact to northern Arizona housing market.
Northern Arizona is just like California
Waiting for the perfect storm.
We are in a 10 year drought.
Northern Arizona is about as dry as I have EVER seen, and I've lived in Arizona for 41 years.
I have already had one California buyer contact me about moving to this great state.
However they will NOT move to an area where the threat of wildfire will threaten their home.
They are looking in Scottsdale.
Hope this helps.

I want to transfer to the Texas real estate sales market from Arizona. Is it a good move?
Jan 05, 2007 by buster b | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I have a great job here in AZ as a sales agent with a new home builder. My family is in Texas and I'm thinking about moving closer to them.
This is a hard one! The market in Tx. goes up and down, if u r doing great at ur job, I would give this advice, 1 alot of people live in Tx. alot buy homes the market is still good, as long as the interest rates stay low. BUT there have been alot of foreclosures in Tx. as well due to layoffs. I have a way I think makes some sense do u have any vacation time, if so y not come to Tx. ck out the market and job situation in the area of Tx. u want to be a sales agent in, y not even if u can come here apply, and send resumes it would be great to line up a good job here in Tx. before u make the move. I cannot blame u for wanting to be closer to ur family, family is important! Hope I helped somewhat. GOOD LUCK!!!
