so, ZRTP phone calls and Jabber/OTR, all of which are already free to use (OSTEL.co or Redphone) and and a plethora of free Jabber services. Why would I pay for this? i'm not against such services, i just don't see the 'value.'

Too much use of words 'military' and 'weapon.' Grow up people. This is communications your selling, not a war.

Sounds like the OP is "connected" to the service as well .... reads like a press release.

No, I'm not "connected" to the service. I'm simply a user. I couldn't care less if anyone signs up or not.

As for the value question, I agree that technically savvy people can probably roll their own infrastructure. But remember that 99% of the people out there are not technically savvy, which is why it's great to see these services popping up to make them accessible to the other 99% that have no privacy protections.
The fact that it is open source means, to me, that you don't have to blindly trust them like all other commercial "secure communications" offerings out there. You can actually inspect the source code yourself if you have the necessary technical skills.
