cheap telephone call rates

How is it possible for, e.g. Tesco, to offer international call rates which equal or undercut B.T.'s rates ? In any case the initial route is over B.T's lines.

For that matter:  the inland voice call rate per minute is not trivial. But I can be connected to the internet - over my B.T. line - 24/7 for no more than the about £10 per month inclusive payment to AOL.

Do huge sites (like Google) have ISPs?

I have always wondered if sites with tremendous amounts of traffic have their own internet service provider or ISP. Does anyone know whether services such as Google or Facebook have to pay to use a network to access the internet for hosting purposes?

How much power does the internet use ?

If the internet can be thought-of as a single machine ( interconnected individual computers, the datacentres, routers, cabling etc etc ) how much electrical power ( in, say, megawatt-hours ) is the total global infrastructure using ?

Radio synchronisation

I have a normal mains and an internet radio.  Whne I play Radio 4 on both sets the internet one has a delay of about 30 seconds - including the time signal broadcast on the hour!  I thought the time signals indicated the exact point when the hour occurs so why os there a delay and which radio is more accurate?

Why does the number 9 appear online so much less than the other numbers 0-10?

I decided to find out how many results Google returned when performing a search for numbers 0-10. All of them returned results between 7-17 billion, apart from 9, which returned less than 1 billion.  Can anyone think why?
