Skype: No to Voice Interop, Yes to Multiparty Video

ZDNet.co.uk's David Meyer interviewed Stefan Oberg and Sten Tamkivi. Some highlights:

  • Voice interop is not on the road map. Customers "are not saying they would love to call a VoIP provider on a different network" said Oberg.

  • Multiparty video is on the roadmap said Tamkivi.

  • Skype won't offer service level agreements since it only operates small pieces of your communication network.

  • Skype will let companies buy credits in larger chunks, needed for enterprise-scale users.

  • Skype will let companies set up automatic distribution among user accounts.

  • Skype will invoice companies on request.

Oberg describes the London phone number debacle in much more detail (rock, hard place) and reveals that Skype's own offices and people were hurt too.
