Verizon + Skype = ?
I have been waiting for this to happen on one of the carriers and it has finally come about. Verizon is now willing to support Skype as a mobile app! Of course, after further reading, it looks like it won’t behave properly over wi-fi and will exclusively use Verizon’s network, but still this is great news for either mobile companies to lower their prices to compete with Skype’s low per minute costs, or just switch everyone to a data plan. We shall see which happens, but most notable is the fact that this reduces, nay, basically eliminates long distance and international calling charges that we would normally incur as long as the person we are calling has their own Skype account and is online. Also, it is worthy to note that when you are without wireless signal but have wi-fi, can always just hop on the laptop to make these phone calls at pennies to the dollar.
What I’m waiting for now is Skype to have an enterprise solution that will switch entire businesses to Skype… course that probably will require Skype to get a bit larger.
