Thanks for all your replies. But most of the publications are a bit old e.g. 2005. Are they still reflecting the truth 
of current verion of Skype (v3)?

When I compare to other VC products, Skype bascially has most of the functions e.g. encryption. Somehow it is hard to 
resist.... 

I am not saying Skype is good for corporations. From IT stand point, they don't want to have it because of lack of 
control and audit trails, vendor support, unknown encryption details etc. But these technical issues are hard to get 
business users understand. So what I am now thinking is that will Skype eats up huge amount of bandwidth. If yes, then 
I can put this into $$ value and business users can understand. Anyone has any experience on this?

Thanks so much,
Wang
