Why pay Skype when you already have a phone contract? Skype is only free to call other Skypers.

If you are already carrying around the smartbook, why carry a phone? Especially a smart one. I am thinking about the virtual office coffee house crowd.

Service provider provided VOIP for free is another option, replacing Skype.

BTW I think this is a very small, possibly very geeky niche, but any niche in billions is still significant.
