"Here's a web page"
"OK, how do I call Mom?"
"She needs to go to the web page too"
"Um, and how will she know to do that?"
"Call her?"
"That's what I'm trying to do!"

Send her an e-mail, a SMS, a facebook message...

I think that what people forget is the the unifying network is the plain old telephone system. There are far more people on that than on any VOIP network. I can call out to a phone number (DID) from any network (my SIP provider say) and it can route back to wherever callee likes (like Skype perhaps).
As long as the telephone system stays substantially larger than these competing networks, it is still anybody's game.

Not that I think Microsoft spent its money well. Since it's a platform developer its a conflict-of-interest for Microsoft to own Skype. This immediately devalues Skype since other companies won't want to play ball. And Skype is hardly a monopoly so other companies don't have to.
