I Don't See This Happening

Unless the mobile operators decide to A) charge more for mobile Internet, to make up lost revenues, and B) use QOS to make VOIP work.

Also, I wonder what the latency is like. What's 3G latency like? I really don't know.

As for Wi-Fi, that has to be a secondary method of connection. In some areas, like where I live, there's almost no Wi-Fi hotspots. I'm inclined to think it's easier to roll-out 3G than it is to roll-out more Wi-Fi hotspots. In rural areas, often T1 is the only broadband choice remotely affordable, so I don't see a lot of people doing that.

There are other Methods to Use Skype remotely from ANY phone or device that supports Dial Tone and Touch Tone without the need to use ANY Data channels.

So this means you can even use landline POTS phones as well as any cell phone or Blackberry like devices because their is no need to install any software on the phone or use any data services.

The important part of this is there really has never been an IM/PSTN like Bridge that could be used such as:

PSTN -> Skype Name

PSTN -> MySpaceIM Name

In both cases the above people are not using a phone, so they could be located anywhere in the world and it would not cost you anything using Skype to speak with them using MyToGo for Skype from your phones or devices like Blackberries. You can also check your Skype Voice Mail for FREE as well from your phones and devices.

Of course, when needed, you could use Skype Rates for your local, long distance or International calls when those rates would be more cost effective than the rate for the same call from your Phone or Device providers rate.

MyToGo for Skype is free and you can find out more information about it here:

So, as you can see, Skype really has the most Portable VoIP services of any current VoIP provider today which makes it more Mobile than any current provider too date.
