SKYPE Flaws

SKypes security flaws are the least of SKYPEs worries. Why does Skype think that quality of servicce is suddenly no longer a concern. THe ITU, ATM forum,MPLS forums, IETF have collectively spent 100s of thousands of hours assuming that bottle necks and congestions on networks will ALWAYS occur so unless SKYPE has dynamic instant topology maps of the free net with dynamic instant routing information feedback to map congestion on to said topo maps than SKYPE is the same as my car driving to NYC from Queens on any given morning.Some day I get in okay in 20 mins. some days I take 2 hours. But average is an hour. SKYPE calls will always run that way on a certain piece of the net no matter what as it does not have the ablity to dynamically reroute around congestion within the end to end budget delays that limit VOIP and have it pass requirements to be considered carrier quality voice. Does SKYPe THINK that rich Americans used to toll quality voice will go cheap and be willing to take bad voice for free over good voice over Callvantage private MPLS backbone or skypes crappy public net service-if my daughter calls me late in the evening worried she is being stalked do I allow my phone to be SKYPE- no way no how no WAY IN HELL I LOSE my VOIP CALLVANTAGE 5 9s carrier reliability VOIP phone for 29 bucks a month and it saves me tons over my VZ POTS line-no toll quality carriers running the likes of 5 9s softswitches like SONS to underwritet their SIP signalling with a private MPLS core is teh ONLY way to fly multimedia baby..SKYPE is TRIPE and TRIPE is the cow stomach- let the very poor eat it but for us serious people I will take VOIP for a much better price in tribple play but no SKYPE thankhyou..
