As for skype, it's a reality that people have to accept - at least for the near foreseeable future. It's pretty and simple to use. That is what made it so popular. The old M$ strategy. It works. Given its unquestionable popularity, it would be nice to have asterisks bridge with its network. Question is, how long will it take till someone comes up with a publicly shared reversed engineered library for its protocol?
