  1. Comment - Skype Makes Outbound Calling Free

    (May 15, 2006 - 7:25 PM)

    Fine, make Skype free. It's great for end users. However this technology will never be good for businesses who run PBX systems and who need a reliable always-on service. Applications like Asterisk PBX for Linux with voip carriers like Veratel Communications www.vera-tel.com (offering outgoing service to Canada at 1.1 cents/minute starting June 1st 2006 or a dedicated phone # for $14.48/US per month ) make it possible for anyone to either start selling VoIP services with little overhead costs either than a server and a reliable broadband connection, or simply be a customer. With a SoftPhone or a SIP Device one can enjoy service that is practically free.

    Anyway, power to those who want cheap residential services. Get back to me when Skype starts offering carrier-grade services.
