The following is a clip from an otherwise critical review of Skype: “Users connect directly to each other by automatically finding the best routes to each other machine.” I have seen equivalent statements at other places and also have heard this from routing experts as well. If this is true then the value in Skype is not in voice communication, but in its ability to supplant IP routers as well. I am sure there have been instances of Skype addressing more substantial ills of the world. Isn’t it time to deify Skype?
