There is a potential danger with Skype. If I know correctly, phone companies (at least in eastern Europe) have to meet some standards set by the government. Since Skype is not a phone company, it does not have to meet any of these standards: http://heartbeat.skype.com/2007/08/what_happened_on_august_16.html http://heartbeat.skype.com/2007/08/what_happened_on_august_1...

And if somebody cuts a cable - Skype's IP packets are likely to route around a problem quicker than an East European state telecoms company can negotiate a pairing agreement with another cable provider.
