Skype and Google are FREE for the most part. There is no user generated revenue

Its more about the access to encrypted traffic that Skype has .. US Govt' was after it too..
Just like the RIM fiasco govt. wants access to all private communication including Voice/IM & apparently video now.

Stupid ducks.. !!
