Maybe that's what's happened with Bluetooth...in as much as it's happened with SIP.<BR/><BR/>In terms of voip on cell phones, I'm not sure why, by I am not seeing Skype emerge to dominate this space. More likely, I think, voip will become a commodity with hundreds of vendors competing to wrestle away market share from today's telcos.<BR/><BR/>I'd also think that if the later don't start doing M&A now, they'll run the risk of being almost held to ransom and end up paying quadruple valuations.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, I'd imagine that the firm which figures out interoperability between voip clients will hit it pretty big. How do I Skype a person who is using GTalk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
