Skype Demands Mobile App Nimbuzz Remove Support, Effective October 31st

I've been using Nimbuzz, because there was no Skype client for Android. Even now there is an Android Skype client, there isn't for my phone, an HTC Wildfire. I've no ides why not.

The quality of Nimbuzz Skype calls has gone through the floor recently. At the weekend I received a call that had a delay of over five seconds. That makes it very hard to communicate anything.

It's a shame, though. When Skype came along, it appeared that they were breaking new ground in the telco space, and general communication space. Now it appears that it's the same old, same old. Put up barriers and protect their territory.

Still, it's their reputation, and they can do with it as they wish.
