PC-to-Phone Telephony With Skype
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007Skype literally changed the way we communicate. Traditional telecommunications companies like AT+T pressed the panic button and launched their own IP-telephony service. IP-Telephony is no longer the cautiously protected secret of computer freaks it was before. Nowadays it is easy to bring your business with Skype IP-telephony confidently into the global market place.
Initially Skype was launched as an Instant Messaging PC tool with voice as an additional feature. Within a short time it became synonymous with making calls over the Internet.
Like other voip providers Skype does not trust on a centralized infrastructure to route the calls.
Therefore Skype, unlike other Voip providers like Vonage and Lingo, can gain larger without spending anything extra for hardware based on a centralized infrastructure, since its network really consists of thousands of interconnected PCs like yours and mine.
The fresh purchase of Skype Technologies by the Internet giant Ebay for an incredible amount of $2.6 billion uncovers the potential of the power of this technology.
How do I profit when I use Skype?
The calls are excellent in most regions. You only need a microphone and speakers to make calls with Skype. Most people think they know what Skype is. They know how to make free calls with a PDA, PC or notebook over the Internet. But Skype is not only a PC-to-PC IP-Telephony technology.
