| Freeswitch + mod_skypiax = Skype for all?
| 
| Skype for SIP beta program, announced last week, is a big step for the VoIP 
| industry. Still, as I said before, Skype has more way to go before it becomes 
| truly interoperable and could provide advanced VoIP features. Currently, 
| Skype for SIP is aimed at organizations with IP-PBX wishing to integrate its 
| SIP standard with Skype. It is not known at this time when, and if, Skype 
| will launch a similar program for individuals.

Why eBay Should Open-Source Skype

,----[ Quote ]
| The great thing about opening up Skype is that it wouldn't affect its
| business model, which is already based on giving away the code, albeit in a
| closed form. Money could still be made from the outbound calls from Skype to
| ordinary phone lines. But freeing Skype completely would encourage wider use
| of both it and its protocols as an entire ecosystem grew up around them,
| leading to more users, and more opportunities to sell them subscriptions or
| pay-as-you-go plans. The only thing that eBay would lose are some of its
| problems....

Open Source Skype Scuppered

,----[ Quote ]
| First, obviously, that such a flaw should be built in is bad. It weakens the
| product - crackers of the world are doubtless firing up their Skype programs
| even as I write - and suggests an extremely patronising attitude to users.
| But I think there's another, less obvious, problem with this revelation.
|
| For some time, people have been talking about getting Skype to go open
| source: you can now forget that.
