It is impolite to blurt out or cut people off, you wouldnt do it in an in person meeting, dont do it on a phone call. Always start on time and do your best to end on time by following the agenda and "table" topics that require more discussion. Distribute the agenda/handouts prior to the meeting. Start on time and end on time.

Don’t save an email or a phone call to deal with later. Those who have trouble keeping meetings productive make an agenda. Although we know that it’s best to touch things only once, we’ve all stopped halfway through a task because the phone rang or somebody stopped by to chat. They never touch things twice.
