I am all in favour of open-source peer-to-peer communication
solutions. The issue is how to convince my relatives and friends with
whom I use Skype to switch to something else as they don't care about
open-source or being listened to by the government!

Also it would be nice not to have to rely on a communications service
provider and instead communicate wirelessly with our neighbours
forming a mesh. There are some projects working towards that goal.
Let's hope they succeed.
