MuniWireless � Blog Archive � Skype-blocking application promises to make your network totally useless

"James Enck writes about some amazing applications, one of which is from a company called Verso. They are selling “carrier grade Skype filtering technology”. According to the press release, the product is “for cable operators and internet protocol service providers seeking to selectively disable undesirable network traffic and improve service levels on their networks. Applications such as Skype, Peer-2-Peer (P2P) messaging, streaming media and instant messaging increasingly cause congestion on service provider networks and interrupt or degrade service for other critical applications. ” Verso is very honest about what they want to offer the telcos. They say that “this traffic (meaning Skype calls) runs outside the traditional carrier revenue generation models and is therefore highly undesirable for them.” No kidding. "
