Re: University red herring

sounds like bad business to me. A temporary monopoly on the internet lines they serve.

ISP"s have been blocking skype off and on because they are trying to sell VOIP.

I am almost certain that Universities are banning Skype because it obviates the need for the exploitative phone plans that have been part and parcel of college life for a long time. It also makes call tracing much more difficult and they are likely frightened about legal liabilities.

Any "bandwidth" issue is a red herring. Students run all manner of p2p, file sharing, streaming video and other apps, each of which probably uses at least 10x the bandwidth of Skype.
