I wonder...

The Big Feature of Skype is that it just works out of virtually 
any firewall / NAT out there, and scales (because of P2P network
technology) better than pure central-server SIP-VOIP providers.

But with a transparent (e.g. IPv6) network, I can let my
standard-protocol SIP phone( application)s talk to each other directly,
so why do I want Skype?
