I got the impression that voice prices are dropping (now everybody has unlimited voice and text messaging for $70).
Affordable data packages can't be purchased without voice packages, so very few (if any) consumers will save money trying to use Skype instead of using their voice plans. Consequently, not many people will use Skype over 3G anyway. It's not worth risking the government mandating stronger net neutrality guarantees that would force them to allow Skype over 3G and worse. In particular, the government could "go overboard" and make such legislation require data plans to be de-bundled from voice plans and/or ban "triple play" bundles.
