wedge Skype P2P free telephone service is disruptive
(SOURCE:Unbound Spiral - Stuart Henshall's blog:)- Stuart's usual insight!  Maybe I should install the sound card in my one and only PC (I have 4 Macs) and try this out! Might be able to use it to make free calls to my sister in Rotterdam if/when they get broadband.

It also turns IM on its head. It's ring centric. All those adults.. that are failing to understand messaging... understand how to make calls. Yep your PC will soon be ringing. Now what I want to know is:

  • What will the impact be on corporate systems... I'm sure employees will bring this in when they realize they can call anywhere... and not be logged on /via the corporate system? Will this add corporates to the sharing process? Will there be an enterprise package?
  • How will we control spam calls, telemarketing calls etc.
  • Will telemarketers who have been put on a "do not call list" have to comply with this service? Legal Issues?
  • Which blogger will give me an online/offline MT plug-in for my blog.
  • How soon will conference calls be available?
  • What will regulators and the tel co's do to make it illegal?
