Is SKYPE a success story!

Is SKYPE a success story or is it all fluff?
Millions of people 31 million respectfully around the globe are enjoying the free SKYPE model for communication but will it be all sweet and blooming in the near future.

After opening up it's doors for developers some turmoil had to come along and due to the big dollar signs some like to think that they are entitled to comments like these below has surfaced and could become a non calculated problem that would bring them down.

"Some developers have complained they were basically left on their own to navigate complicated licensing contracts and technical issues, leaving it unclear whether developers are allowed to profit and under what conditions."

Interesting issues only time will tell how it's going to pan out.

It's Peer too Peer

It uses the same P2P technology that the Kazaa or
Gnutella networks use. It is decentrallized.
Meaning it doesn't require a central server to
function and it works behind firewalls as a result.
The quality is better than a regular telephone as
well.
