Hey people<\/span> this is my first<\/span> post,<\/span> welcome<\/span> and thanks for<\/span> passing by.<\/p>\n

I’m one of the most convinced persons that Skype is in the future<\/span> going to rule most of the calls made in the world. It<\/span> has about 100M users and recently has made free<\/span> every call to the US.<\/span> It<\/span> has created partnerships with the biggest hardware producers and managed to get embedded in new<\/span> mobile<\/span> devices. If the WiFi or WiMAX (or whichever wireless technology<\/span> gets to be the standard)<\/span> get a good<\/span> city<\/span> coverage… mobile<\/span> phones as<\/span> GSM,<\/span> UMTS etc.. will be gone forever, and a new era<\/span> of cheap communication<\/span> will start.<\/p>\n

But not everything is a bed of roses for<\/span> skype, it<\/span> has turn on bright<\/span> red<\/span> lights in all the<\/span> VoIP players and they are starting to react:<\/p>\n

>>Net2phone has sued it<\/span> for<\/span> patent violation
\n>>Lots of players have lauched cheaper and look like services, within the most relevant – Russian<\/span> Tel-me which user base is growing fast and promise more flexibility
\n>>Mr.<\/span> Microsoft has launched its MSN<\/span> Live in association with verizon to provide calls to land lines and videoconference. Now the largest instant messaging network in the world with almost three times the<\/span> number of users of Skype offers all in<\/span> one.<\/p>\n

Eventhough Skype business<\/span> model<\/span> and P2P platform permits the lowest possible costs, it<\/span> has to manage very carefully its “enemies” not to be kicked out of the way.<\/p>\n

Skype’s reactions should be watched carefully, I’ll try to trace them and discuss them here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
