Hello
I've just read in 20Minuten, that Swisscom apparently is blocking Skype traffic over their UMTS network. They only want UMTS to be used for "data" traffic, not for voice (yeah, so what exactly IS a UDP-packet then ????).
some questions from my side: - is it blocked by port-blocking, or traffic-analysis (i.e. protocol recognition etc.) -> would it work using a different port for Skype (provided it is possible to change port settings in Skype, don't know)
- is this legal? what if I need to use that specific port which is used by skype, but I'm running something else on it (NOT VoIP) ?
- why do they act up like a 3y-old child? can't they just let things happen the way they're supposed to happen? I hate censorship in any form.
and don't get me started about my Nokia 6630 UMTS mobile phone which hasn't a Vodafone Live Client on it, so I can't use it for streaming video as NOBODY at Swisscom was able to tell me the configuration for a 3rd party video client... I specifically DID NOT WANT vodafone live on it (proprietary cr*p)
and finally, they should rather get their ADSL working and not close down specific services as they wish...
grrrrr... rant over. _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
