I think Skype Out is a pay for the ability to call real phones from Skype on your PC.

well, the article says traditional call are routed over the cell network.
That basically implies that SkypeOut calls don't even exist!
Skype-Skype calls go for free, but there's no way in hell that a cell provider will actually market a service to cannibalize their existing services. (Well, u can go buy a smart phone over here, and get EV-DO service on it. Then its just a matter of loading Skype software on it.
So yea, if a cell provider itself actually advertises low-cost Skype-out calls, thats the end of their actual cash cow business.
Talk about marketing gimmicks.........
