The announcement today of free SkypeOut for calls within North America has received very positive response from attendees at the mesh Toronto 2006 Conference. Like "This is huge!" Some comments:

  • Was Skype motivated to do this as a result of competitive factors such as AOL's recently announced AIM Phoneline?
  • Adding free North American SkypeOut to the enhanced ease of installation and registration inherent to Skype's recentlly released version 2.5 makes it a "no brainer" to become a Skype user.
  • What will be the impact of this announcement on the Vonage IPO?

Today my cell phone battery died at mesh Toronto 2006; but they have great WiFi service at the MaRS Centre (11g even). So out popped my VoIPVoice evaluation Cyberspeaker-W and I was using SkypeOut to catch up on calls to various locations in North America.
