Let us count the days before Skype's VOIP service gets sued out of existence as well. There's alot of waves in the VOIP industry of late.. mysterious FREE click to call services, new celebrity run VOIP work-around services, and free experimental providers such as Icall, Google's Grandcentral too.

If we take a few steps back and look at the big picture, main-stream middle of the road VOIP providers are getting shut out of business either by:

a. lawsuits
b. free providers with various ways of luring consumers away from PAID services
c. forcing increased costs associated with connecting to the PSTN (per minute fees)
d. anti-competitive broadband measures (packet preference) by isp's (who happen to be cable & telco with a vested interest in thwarting 3rd party voip)

The non deep pockets VOIP providers are leaving too much to chance with the anti-competitive workings of cable and telco gatekeepers of the broadband.
