If everyone uses Skype, then they can charge through the roof (well, a lot more than they should) for skype out style services...they already charge too much for this kind of thing believe it or not. Also, it's all totally closed source, even when running, the program uses encrypted routines and stuff to do things...who knows what it's up to!
