Have you Skyped before? I used Skype for an international phone call this evening for the first time. It's a great service, although audio quality is probably improved if you're not using a built in laptop microphone and speakers! Also, a relatively consistent internet connection is important. It's a neat service!
Haste the day when we'll have WiFi-enabled smartphones so we can use Skype from hotspots. :)

They're in discussions with Motorola to do exactly this: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050303.html
Interesting, especially about tagging the packets of the other providers.

It makes perfect sense. It would not directly be targetting their competitors, so legal remedies would be difficult. They're just ensuring their own QoS.
