In spite of Skype’s recent outage, it’s users are sticking with the VOIP phone company instead of switching back to land lines.
Users: Outage No Reason to Abandon Skype
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - When the Internet phone company Skype went offline for nearly two days last week, Tim Legrand was frustrated and inconvenienced. But he has no plans to switch back to a traditional telephone line.
I get that, the outage was a royal PITA, but it ended and people go back to life as usual. I do think however that Skype ought to take this as a little clue and arrange their network with multiple hubs so that if part of it should go down for any reason, the rest of it could continue to function. There’s a lesson to be learned from P2P networks.
