Skype Journal: ZDNet on MotoSkype

February 16, 2005 07:57 AM

Another point of view from ZDNet on the exciting news that Motorola will be working with Skype. We tend to agree. This is an exciting direction and one which will a "cellular" provider will test as the new devices come out and down in price. Keep a watch on Asia or Europe, it's not likely to happen Stateside first.

I believe this is exciting news. Rather than be forced to opt for a fee-ridden cellular phone plan, free or bundled-in VoIP will give at least some cell phone users a choice.

The Wi-Fi component of this set-up wouldn't be of the hot-spot variety. This would be more of a short-range transmission thing. Your Motorola phone would likely obtain Wi-Fi connectivity by hooking up to your existing broadband connection at your office or home. ZDNet
