VOIP Telephony Trends
Skype Acquired by Microsoft: 3 Fears & 3 Hopes: "Hopes
I probably have bigger, more active hopes for this acquisition than I do fears.
With 660 million+ registered users and more than 100 million average monthly users, Skype is bigger than Twitter.Disruption of the telephony landscape is something people have been waiting for years to see from consumer VOIP services, especially Skype. The service has no doubt upturned the international fixed line economy, but how about shaking things up with mobile carriers? It would be great to see Microsoft, Google and Facebook all make strong mobile VOIP plays and take some power away from the big carriers of the world. Heck, more competition could even make the carriers change their ways and earn some love from their customers, instead of simply holding us all hostage. Who couldn't use more love?"
