That sucks, I would say I hope the government would prevent them from doing this but as we all know thats not going to happen. Its a good move on microsofts part, I can see what they are doing. The next windows OS will come with skype embedded into it as well as the windows phones will have a skype feature to give the users unlimited calling in 4G areas. Its going to be a challenge to Vonage and other VOIP providers, Darth Gates has his sights set on the coming transfer from old Bell telephone system to VOIP Internet roll over. The Idea is to have only one communication connection going into a home a fibre-optic cable.
Really all tech is leading down the road to a single device that will be our only communication device and computer, not really a bad thing but I'd hope that an open source cell computer / tablet w/e is made available. The Iphones Win7 and Android all lock down your phone, open source ready phones would prevent the "system" from backdooring your cell and future all in one communication device/PC.
