Net Neutrality: Skype might have the A-Bomb

Remember when Skype said: We’re so big, you can’t block us. That was a month ago. Since then, Net Neutrality has been rejected by the US Congress. But the Technology Liberation Front thinks the decision wouldn’t stand that long.
“Skype is likely to react by turning SkypeOut off (or threatening to) and blaming the FCC for the decision in hopes of creating a consumer backlash. The effectiveness of that tactic will depend on how many SkypeOut users they have. If there are enough of them, the FCC will be in the awkward situation of telling millions of Skype users that they’re no longer allowed to call their land line friends as they’d been doing for free for the previous year.”
Sounds a bit like Machiavelli (see Wikipedia) has touted the Skype plan. Do you think Skype has freed SkypeOut rate on Net Neutrality purposes?
