There's yet another Skype update being auto-installed. No you don't
get a warning, nor a choice. You sign in and immediately the update
begins downloading - and it takes about 10 minutes. The download can
take a chunk out of your allowance if you're on a restrictive contract
such as Three's 1GB per month plan, or a chunk out of your pocket if
you're on a PAYG data plan. CJB.
