Yeah, someone posted that a couple days ago. I read it. Yeah, Skype is wonderfully secure.

Also, it is a P2P-based service. If you install it in your network, you open your network to that service (SUPERNODE). In many cases, that constitutes a violation of the AUP in many organizations. From the state (U.S.) perspective, there are policies against using state-owned networks for private activities and access. Also, users could be charged on laws related to "theft of state services."

They are ripping off Telcos................and Telcos are big boys.................their moderators certainly get a long brown coat and tall boots :D
Unless you are connecting via CB powered by you pedalling a bicycle, just think about it? :eek:
