Why the doom and gloom? Sure, skype is proprietary, they're out to make
a buck and more power to them.
Where do you get the idea that if skype dominates voip, which is a
hypothetical, this would lead to ....
what exactly are worried that it would lead to? a voip monopoly?
google, too, is out to make a buck. I don't worry that google will have
a monopoly because it seems unlikely. However, even if every other
search engine died and google "owned" search, well, that'd be alot of
power concentrated but I'm not seeing the doomsday connection.
