Skype Users are Talking

Interesting just tracking Skype quotes... and thinking about the grass-roots activity that is happening.

When VoIP via P2P technology hits a point where you can call friends using a headset, PDA, and Skype software, using a wireless network, existing phone services will feel the financial hurt. I doubt P2P will kill either cellular or landline phone service, but it will certainly shift some dollars from the pockets of businesses that have far too much control over the way we communicate - I can't wait. refer
Matches my experiences round the world.
Me and a friend gave Skype a try and I must say its amasing. He was on a ISDN in South Africa and I was on my ADSL in London. My firewall blocked all incoming connections and it worked a charm. Sound quality was comparable to a phone if not better. I am. [refer]
It's not hard to check out.

Hi Skypers:

I've had no luck with SKYPE.

I've called from Colombia S.A., trying to connect with a friend in Thibodaux, Louisiana, U.S.A. I can hear her, but she can't hear me.

She tells me that she's talked with Skypers in Europe and Brazil.

XP's firewall maybe? My geographical location, Colombia?

I'd appreciate a hand.

My phone bills are going to bankrupt me.

Have a nice day people.

Maybe these were problems with the older version of Skype, but with version 1.0 and above, Skype to Skype calling works awesome. Quality is much better than cell phone or landline phones. I've also added money to my SkypeOut account so I can make PC to phone calls. The quality is very good also (and that was calling from US to Denmark).
