Why Are The Whole World Screaming And Yelling From The Rooftops About Skipe

I was reading a Time magazine article yesterday and found that there is a thing called skype phones that was sweeping the web.The two geezers who started it sold their website to ebay and are now very wealthy because of it.So why am I getting so pumped up?.Many know it as skype.It is hardly a novel concept telephoning a friend over the www without having to putting your hand in your pocket.

Basically then you will be able to chat to whoever you like whenever you like wherever they are in the world and can even see them if you have skipe and a web cam.There is a downside, however, and that is that it is most easily used over a broadband connection.Video is still in its infancy so you wont always get an amazing picture.

Ebay the massive auction site is also auctioning skyp phones.We think skype has been in existence for a year to date and it is proving immensely popular.

Due to Skypes massive success big commercial telephone companies are trying to get a foothold in the marketplace.All the telecom gurus are watching voip closely thinking that maybe it will crash and burn.Is it here to stay or will it have vanished off the face of the net within 12 months

If past experience is anything to go by then we can expect the big players to examine voip in microscopic detail.Then inevitably the feds will enter and regulate it.Skype are charging to make phone calls to cell phones and local regular phones, and that's called skyping out,etc

The next big thing which voip are making a cheeky move towards is the notion of web conferencing. With 911 happenning in the not too distant past more people want to travel less and less so it is a great opportunity for voip to put video conferencing back on the map

Audio and video are becoming more accessible for everyone nowadays-in this day and age especially with the massive success of youtube.Some people claim that audio and video will be no big deal but I disagree, I think it will be massive.

But one thing is for certain, it's not just hype they're muttering about, and only time will tell if the general public will catch on when they get their free skype download.We'll see in the next few years.
