No. If it were an issue with the carriers, then Skype could easily have made the now-defunct Skype Lite WiFi-only, just like they do on the Blackberry, and just like many other VOiP apps, such as Vonage, do on both the iPhone and the Android. The fact is, Skype Light, released in January '09, used your carrier's minutes when you made calls. In that regard it was similar to Google Voice. This was most definitely NOT a carrier issue. Skype was planning to charge monthly fees, payable to Skype for using the mobile version of Skype. It was this, and not the carriers, that precipitated Skype Lite being pulled from the Marketplace.
