At least for the present Skypeout is not encrypted. Indeed, in their forum the official response is a sarcastic, "PSTN is not encrypted anyway". Nevermind that there are legal privacy protections in PSTN and that the Supernode can collect CDR like information.

It's going to be interesting to watch if Skype which fully encrypts discussion (does it encrypt text as well?) will remain a fringe player or whether they will push to become legit in the space like an ATT, Vonage or Packet8. First things.. they need incoming calls from non-Skype.
I can't see them giving up the encryption bit though, especially seeing how the internet is the network via user machines. I also can't see them granting a backdoor to law-enforcement...
