The latest beta version of Skype has been well received by enthusiasts, but one important new feature has so far been 
ignored - the programme is now much harder to block.

The development signals another round in the small but fierce war between Skype’s designers, and the growing band of 
security companies that sell products to block the software on corporate networks.

According to iPoque, a German company that ranks as one of only a tiny number that claim to stop Skype using traffic 
analysis, the beta of version 2.5 had been overhauled in important ways by its designers to make detection more 
difficult.
