I just realized that I left out the word "what" in the final sentence. It should be "And should Obihai users therefore be worried about what will happen to free calling after December 31, 2012?"
The answer is a clear no. Reading your posts it appears you're trying to find a reason to be worried, whereas the "vast majority" on here -- I'll go out on a limb here and put the number at 99.9% -- believe it will continue to be free just like it is now.
Furthermore, everyone has multiple fall back plans at the ready. What are they? Port your number to any of the well-accepted VoIP providers commonly mentioned on here (and on DSLReports, and elsewhere) and instead of paying zero you pay the small (relative to hard wired land line, Skype, Magicjack, etc.) monthly fee on a plan of your choosing that best matches your usage pattern.
And if you're still concerned, you can have a fallback plan on the fallback plan, which is to port your number back to a landline provider, assuming that is where it came from in the first place.
