Not only is there great pressure on Skype, Verizon, AT&T and Sprint will be in trouble.....

I would expect any additional moves like the deal with 3 to be without skype in/out capabilities. And they do not want to make the workaround easy. On the other hand if they know that only calls between skype names can be made they may not see it as such a revenue loser to bundle skype into the cell phone package.

I never really felt that Skype got behind the whole open platform idea from day one. It always felt like a half arsed attempt. With the extras platform I felt that things were moving in the right direction, far from perfect you understand, we got out far less than the effort we put in. But now the core supporters of the project have gone you have to wonder just how serious Skype views its developer community. Not very high is what I am guessing It is worrying.
