Only in this case, Nokia and Sprint get a cut of Skype's revenue intake from users using Nokia devices on Sprint's Wi-Max network in exchange for Nokia loading Skype on every new Wi-Max-enabled device and Sprint supplying the network.
Sprint can also get a cut of the revenues from every Wi-Max device sold in the U.S. as well as the usual income they will get from selling Wi-Max services to those users with Wi-Max-enabled kit.
My point is that voice traffic is still the bread and butter of mobile operators. To make any sort of deals with VOIP companies is seen as a step to cannibalize their main product.

They're not even doing any profit sharing schemes to cellphone producers right now, let alone VOIP providers whom are seen as their direct competitors (of a subset of their product).

PS: I'm sorry I didn't follow suit on going down your route doing personal attack and all the negativity. I don't see how that helps with the discussion.
