Will the Networks Block Skype
Over a decade ago cell phones were impossible to carry around because they were so big and had to technology on them whatsoever.If we now move forward to the current year, we are seeing a wide variety of phones being released with truly advanced features.
But probably the biggest innovation is the establishment of internet access; you can now gain entry to the internet just as you would do on a computer. And this is causing network providers a huge headache. We all know for years that service providers have been making their money by over charging customers huge amounts for calls and text messages.
But as internet access on mobiles phones grow so do access to free wifi spots, so this could potentially wipe out all of the mobile phone networks, because what is happening is that people are connecting to the internet and accessing Skype, which gives you the ability to have free calls between Skype users. Most of the UK providers have already banned VoIP access, but Nokia’s recent release of their N97 come’s pre installed with Skype giving users the ability to easily access the service.
The networks should not be blocking things like this, in my opinion, as it just makes them look bad. We are currently in the middle of a huge financial crisis, so people want to look for the best ways to save. I believe that's why the Network three has expanded so much, simply because they give customers the freedom choice. If the mobile providers want to stay in business then they need to get together and find a way to join up with services such as Skype for example, this way they could share income, but blocking is definitely not the way to approach this.
