You have lost something if : - you paid more for the plan than you otherwise would have - went through "early adopter" pains as three rolled out - weaved Skype into your business/personal processes, and now have to pay for it, whereas you may have taken another route if the offer were not available - based financial arrangements around having it available for free - factor in the time for finding/learning something new and converting your contacts to it if you now abandon skype.
