tw: After Skype hooks up a simple packet sniffer and evaluates the arrival times of different packet numbers during a call, and compares that data to the packets they themselves have generated from the remote location, they will have all the compelling data they need before lunchtime.
radar: you don't need an entire private internet to circumvent this situation. Anyone can order a private circuit to just about any ISP!! In fact single channel ISDN would be plenty for two-way voice. Now how many choices do you have? Maybe hundreds!!
With an extended WiFi setup you could take that circuit yourself and act as ISP for your entire neighborhood. You could even take the packets on Skype's ports and direct them over a small private network, while directing all other traffic to Verizon or whomever else. The routing would be intense to work out, but the equipment would be less than a grand. And you could make money too!
