In fact, Skype, just as a for instance, is worse on hotel wifi as launching the app on a laptop makes you a middle node for some conversations.
Per the Skype IT administrator guide, a Skype node will not become a supernode unless it has a public IP address and meets the memory, bandwidth, and uptime requirements. It will not become a relay node unless it has a public IP address and is directly reachable from the Internet.
It is very unlikely that launching the Skype app on a laptop on hotel wi-fi would meet these requirements.
Does Skype on $HANDHELD have the same property?Not as far as I know, for the obvious reason that handheld devices have network connections that are suboptimal for this.
