Ban Skype? And you!

Recently, all parties in the runet are filled with quotes from a certain citizen Yermakov, born in 1968, who threatens to ban ICQ and Skype, arguing that he does not have enough for a slice of bread for a black caviar sandwich. Or something like that. Young people with a weak psyche are fanning the scandal with might and main, threatening to respond to the sites of the megaphone and do a lot of terrible things.

So, people, take a minute and ask a friend admin what it is - to try to ban Skype, at least on the scale of one organization. It is advisable to ask the admin actually tried to do this, and not p ... dabol theorist.

For those who are not in the subject - I explain what the point is: Skype, unlike ICQ, is written in the best traditions of the national Troyanivodstvo. It does not use fixed ports in principle, but dynamically changes them. Prohibiting Skype within at least the office, while not closing 99% of the network - almost impossible task. In fact, the scandal is caused by the appearance of Google Voice , which (unlike the above-mentioned instant messengers) already really threatens cellular operators with direct losses. It has not yet become widely used, so the operators prepare the legislative ground in advance.

Therefore, do not worry, and let the megaphone be promoted :-) voice over IP will never disappear in principle, but the gsm networks still have a short time to live. The market decides.
