I assume that Skype doesn't have those rules just to be annoying. They didn't start off with them -- they added them in response to some kind of problem. Perhaps it's a problem you wouldn't have if you're not a huge company, in which case you could have a great business. Or perhaps it's a problem that would be even worse for a small startup, such as rampant credit card fraud from some locations. (It's worse for a small company because a disproportionate number of your customers will be fraudsters who were blocked by everyone else, and you'll lose a huge amount of money right away.) It can be hard to find out why rules exist, but very worthwhile.
