Wireless Skype

From Contact Center Today, via Smart Mobs:

The VoIP software firm Skype has reached an agreement with U.S. telecom firm Motorola that should help it to increase its penetration of the wireless market.

The Luxembourg company plans to load Skype software onto some Motorola Wi-Fi or third-generation mobile phones in the future.

This would enable mobile subscribers to make free national calls and cheap international calls by using the internet to carry calls, rather than standard mobile networks.

Motorola and Skype will first of all comarket products such as Bluetooth, or wireless, equipment, before introducing handsets with preinstalled software.
