Skype is also encrypted an ddifficult to track. By blocking Skype Beijing will be able to hone in and spy on calls much easier. You will notice that the first area to be hit is an area that contains a large number of Hong Kong businesmen who use Skype to call home, an to make business calls.

Often times, when I use a China Telecom IP card to phone the U.S., the receiver will complain that the quality of the call is poor: echo in background, muffled voice, etc. When I switched to Skype, it was like I was making a call across town: clear voices, no lag, no dropped calls (even after nearly an hour of talk). Now the Chinese authorities want to force consumers to pay more for less quality, because China Telecom can't get its act togethor. Ridiculous.
