Gee, I can't say I'm too upset about this. But, I do believe we will see Skype in lots of MSFT products, business and consumer products.

Skype is Out of Business
Over the last few months, and actually as far back as last year the signs that Skype was getting out of the business market were painfully obvious to many of us long time Skypewatchers. Fist was the discontinuation of Skype for Asterisk. Then was the abrupt departure of David Gurle who had been...
It's no surprise this happened, but for some, it's unfortunate. Gizmo5 was a peer of ours and helped to push the pace of SIP adoption. Google seems to have other plans or at least a different perspective on timing. OnSIP has focussed on SIP adoption for years. While it's target audience is the business community, with PBX replacement apps, the core is a free SIP voice & video service along with free XMPP Instant Messaging. We welcome folks to get free SIP addresses which can be used to register devices and receive inbound SIP calls.

Without SIP registered user agents (phones, soft phones), these "Cloud services" are nothing more than apps that work with 10-digit phone numbers with no opportunity to avoid the voice minute loving PSTN carriers.

VaaS-Voice as A Service
Voxygen's Dean Elwood likes to refer to voice as a service. The attorney turned developer and integrator is much akin to pal and client Thomas Howe of Light and Electric as well as my colleague inside In Store Solutions, makers of the FreeTalk brand of products, where Howe serves as CTO and I se...
