I suppose someone might want that at the carrier side.

Wow, only a few decades behind competition. Hunt groups were available in the days of analog telephony.

This is carrier side hunting. I suppose really really small offices who don't want a PBX can use this functionality.
But you're right, this is not a new idea.. just new for VOIP.ms

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41474329I think it is safe to assume if youre an adult in the US and have ever received credit at any time in your life, you are affected.

Even if you aren't in the US, Canadians and Brits were also effected. (not to the same scale though)

Right, I recommend this service to people with one or two phones all the time. It’s simply not cost-effective set up an entire PBS for only a couple of phone. Most of the time those users also do not need this in feature, but it is a good solid feature to add to their offer.

Now I get to say, You're kidding, right? to you.
MS is trying to put themselves everywhere. Keep themselves in people's minds.
Not to mention that they are trying to compete with Google in some feature ways, first one to mind - what you're browsing on your desktop can now flow to your phone and vice versa, just like Google can do.Now that said - I don't think the public will care.

Just another spot for their browser to fail and Mac people to mock them, though.
