Skype Pro & New SkypeOut Rates - anyone seen them?

After all the waiting and hype, it seems Skype's announcement today seems a bit light on detail and doesn't really say all that much:

http://www.skype.com/products/skypepro/

There are now connection charges and a monthly tarrif (€3) under which calls to certain countries will have no per-minute billing. Sounds good if you make long calls to the countries included but they haven't announced which countries will be nor when this will be available.

The plan mentions €30 discount on SkypeIn, but given that this is what it currently costs I can only assume they will be increasing the price.

here they tell a bit about the new rates (in german).
The Flatrate has 3.9ct/call setup fees for each call.
and the regular calls also all have a setup fee now.
sucks if you ask me...

The SkypeOut part of their forums is a bit busy at the moment

The new rates are worse than before since they have introduced connection charges to all the skype out calls.....
