Niklas Zennström speaks on intellectual property rights. (Tony Hallet, Silicon.com) "Software patents are hindering innovation. Patents should be granted when there is real innovation and real investment in innovation." "We allow third-party developers to develop on our platform. It's a great way to do it. We are helping them be successful. But there is a mental threshold you have to go through. People [at Skype] say 'Maybe we could have done that'."

Don't Buy DSL From This Man ... If You Can Help It (Tom Evslin). "Ed Whitacre is CEO of SBC, the huge local telecom monopoly which is about to swallow AT&T. The excitement of the progeny buying the former parent may be going to his head." Whitacre is dangerous to Skype. He thinks users and Skype should pay SBC/AT&T for Skype traffic over the DSL or cable line you're already renting.

I use wispr to call my skype-in number then place a skype out call
however my pc must be running
is it possible to set up a national skype-in number callable via cell or reg
fon which would allow skypers to access their accounts? This way i
can close my pc and then call not my private skypin num but a national
one and get into my skypeout.
i know 5 guys who set up a skypein account sharing the countersign and now only one
leaves on the pc... can u add to this idea.
Its kinda like skype webbased but cheaper. I mean a cell fon to go online to enter skype.com is cash. A local call to a local skypein number is pennies. Therecould be one in each city. Whereever u go, u jus call the local skypein and you are connected to the net..at least for skypeoutings.
