That PDF is very light on content....

After reading the document I am disappointed; basically he is saying that he doesn't know how Skype works (because it is propietary and secret) and therefore he makes assumptions about how it might work and draws conclusions from it...

I guess his general statements are true but they would apply to most VOIP/IM service. (if your PC is compromised then you can't trust your applications...) and what is up with ISDN and video conferencing..what is the point?

His CV is impressive but this document is not

BTW Skype over 802.11 works like a charm...
