Skype announces Voice Services

Bill Campbell on September 8, 2005 08:55 AM

Skype partners with three platform partners Tellme, Voxeo and VoxPilot to create a voice content delivery system.

How does it work?You bring us the content and we bring you the users. Skype promotes your service, and if you want, can charge callers per minute:

Free services: these are free for the Skype caller. You pay a small per minute fee for the operation and promotion of these services.
Chargeable services: callers pay per minute from their Skype Credit. You receive a share of the call revenue.

What kind of voice services can you offer?
Anything you can imagine! If you want to start a news service, voice auctioning, announce sports scores, track international deliveries, or if you want to help people learn how to speak Tagalog – do it! We look forward to seeing your ideas in action, amaze us!

How much can you earn from chargeable services?
You define the per minute charge for your service. The call revenue generated is split three ways:

Skype keeps 30% for promoting your service and connecting callers.
Your chosen Platform Partner keeps a share for enabling your service (see table below).
You receive the remainder.

This is a bigger news event than the rumour mill about eBay buying Skype for 4 to 5 billion dollars.
