Even the best car does badly on a gravel road. A Hummer does reasonably well on gravel roads, but your point is taken. The underlying problem is that Skype needs someone else to build the roads. They’ll be waiting for more Cisco routers and more fiber optics into homes. That day is not near. I can imagine a WiFi or Bluetooth handset that uses Skype for hotspots or at home. I don’t understand how this generates more CDMA revenue. Would this be some stripped-down, data-only CDMA chip in a low-cost unit upon which Skype runs? Could Skype run as a BREW data application that would bypass voice-call charges? You got me; how would this work?
