Erm, doesn't answer the question... at all.
If it's so bad, why would Nokia support it? Seriously, this whole bad for humanity approach is a bit skewed to how you view things, IMHO. Worse part, if it's so bad, wouldn't supporting a bad for humanity application be much like supporting Stalin?
What Google did is according to the fact they have an open source option that they can make viable via updates, research and ultimately their sheer size and influence. Ekiga isn't really integrated nor do I recall it being terribly useful nor used. It was far behind Gizmo Project, and that was quite behind Skype and AIM.
The decision by Nokia to support Skype was a commercial one. The notion that it's "evil" or whatever is your perspective we don't share - simply because it's closed source doesn't make it evil. If that's the case, then the closed bits of Maemo should have incited a riot.
But it hasn't. And it won't. Being selective on what you like and don't like based upon the only known criteria of it being closed source shouldn't be limited to just 3rd party apps. Nokia is as guilty.

Well, didn't Nokia sell spy hardware and software to the government of Iran, North Korea and similar? Supporting Skype by default is hardly a surprise in light of that.....

Ah, ok, it is not ekiga.net, it's ekiga.org
Ekiga.org is the application for VOIP (Voice- and Video-on-IP).
There also many other compatible SIP/VOIP-providers.

n900 is not a phone, it's a real handheld computer with a phone capability.
