VoIP Blogging > I want to go back to the times when people used to pay for their calls.

[Watching, Testing, Digesting: Skype Software & Hardware Gadgets.] Also the call transfer is simply great to forward the call to a phonenumber without paying Skype-out (at least from the perspective of the callee). The caller pays.

Voipnow.orghttp://www.voipnow.org [Voipnow.org] VoIP Now: Skype: Sure, they don't have the addon architecture that Skype has recently moved up to with Skype 3.0 for WindowsBeta, but maybe that's coming - assuming I haven't somehow missedsomething on SightSpeed's website. Otherwise, if the ability to developaddons for Sightspeed appears in the next few releases, I think thatthey will become the primary disruptive force in the soft VoIP niche.(I vaguely recall something that one of the support staff told me a fewmonths back about the existence of an SDK or API or some such, but Ithink it's only available on a selective basis.)

[Blog.tomevslin.com] Fractals of Change: AT&T is Ripping Off American Soldiers: However, many calls which originate and terminate as PSTN on ordinary phones ARE converted to VoIP in the originating CO and back to PSTN at or close to the terminating CO. A big part of the business of my company, ITXC, was putting equipment in carrier COs precisely to convert PSTN calls to VoIP for the long haul in the middle of the call to reduce cost (I am no longer in this business).

[Voiplowdown.com] VoIP Lowdown: Skype: Russell Shaw muses on Alex Saunders discussion of how Asteriskenables the technically-savvy to practically create their own littlemini VoIP service provider environment with just an old used PC. Whilethat's true - and exciting for some people, no doubt - Russell pointsout that for the most part, small businesses (or even big ones) whoactually have someone capable of modifying Asterisk code (it's opensource, in case you didn't know) that might build their own advanced IP telephony applications.But most businesses will probably buy VoIP solutions out of the box.That's mainly because, unless you want some fifteen-year old kid (my emphasis) monkeying with your company's telecom system, you typically have to shell out $100/hr for an Asterisk "code jock".
