Re: Shock threat to shut Skype
Is skype too useful for us? Is it too hard for unsophisticated governments to monitor?
Does it lack sufficient ability to mine for personal information? What is wrong with ebay/Skype that means that a simple licensing deal cant be worked out? A.. |

Re: Shock threat to shut Skype
Hi Anchor,
I shouldn't worry about this one too much. If Skype shuts down there are a whole host of other service providers out there. It's been reported that Skype covers 8% of internet telephony. That leaves a whopping 92% to exploit. Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, Net2Phone..... and Google Voice (comming soon) the list goes on. Just Google "Free internet telephony". Best regards, Steve Quote:
