| Skype = Pot, Mobile Carriers = Kettle
Skype might start by setting a good example:
Skype is proprietary VoIP. No SIP or IAX interoperability except via the PSTN or special hardware & software interfaces.
Skype (sometimes) uses customer resources to route third parties' calls, without compensating the customer or the customer's carrier.
There is no such thing as free love, flower children of the 21st century. Somebody's paying for it.

I suppose you're right. and even *if* you turn it off, skype will still have low speed connections to 40 to 80 IP's doing god knows what. this still applies even if there's no supernode activity. |
