Is there a downside you can see I don't?....(c; I can think of 2 main reasons why I don't use it. 1. If Don is on a cable, Skype software may identify his connection as a supernode, thus Don's $50/mnth bandwidth is used to route calls for Skype, not that they let Don know that that's what could happen nor does Skype reimburse Don for the use of a service that Don is paying for. 2. Proprietary software/encryption/protocols that according to the head-honcho at Skype "will not pass OpenSource auditing for security". |
