The point of Skype is that it avoids the costs of premium
(QoS) guaranteed video or phone links.
It was interesting that voice links are still being in the
quarantined in the wireless NBN configuration being
discussed. The aggregation of these channels offers video -
the rest is subject to contention - hope the emergency
people weren't contending with the media broadcasts.
There was discussion about the spectrum available for NBNCo
