Free Internet phone calls offered By DAVE EBNER Saturday's Globe and Mail The creators of the file-sharing software Kazaa are making a big splash with their latest venture, offering free telephone calls over the Internet as they join a growing group of upstarts taking on the world's communications giants. “The ambition here is to become a global telephone company,” said Niklas Zennstrom, chief executive officer of Skyper Ltd. and co-founder of Kazaa. “We will help bring down the cost of telecommunications.” The Stockholm-based company unveiled its Skype Internet telephone software just three weeks ago. More than half a million copies have been downloaded, riding the popularity of Kazaa, which ranks among the most popular computer programs yet. Skype — rhymes with hype — allows people to call others using the same program and, starting next year, any standard telephone. The effort to use the Internet for telephone calls is not new, but the Kazaa connection brings a huge spotlight on what until now was a tiny market populated by niche services, such as Vonage and Free World Dialup. Further, major telephone companies, such as Bell Canada and Telus Corp., are beginning to sell services based on so-called Internet protocol technology to large business customers. A growing number of industry observers are calling the changes a seismic shift, one that could see traditional telephone service eventually disappear. For the telephone industry, it is a opportunity but also a massive challenge as the traditional voice connections are a huge cash cow. In a report this week titled “Goodbye legacy voice,” National Bank Financial analyst Tom Astle surveyed the shifting landscape. He said Internet voice will “eat away at traditional voice services.” In many ways, Internet voice services are not quite ready for a broad audience. Things people take for granted, such as calling 911 in an emergency, generally aren't available. Voice quality remains an issue, although Skype boasts that its service is at least as good as a standard telephone. Bruno Bononi, a 15-year-old in Sao Paolo, isn't so sure. He's used Skype for the past week. The program is still in a testing phase and an official version isn't scheduled for release until later this year. “It has a lot of bugs and problems,” he said. “Telephone is better.” Mr. Zennstrom — who has cut his ties with Kazaa — is hopeful. “It's spreading like wildfire,” he said. “Free phone calls is a really powerful proposal. You have been able to make free phone calls over the Internet for a long time but it's been very difficult to get it to work. I think we've been able to do something that's simple, where the benchmark is basically to make it as easy as a normal telephone.” Mr. Zennstrom said he believes phone companies in future will sell customers a speedy Internet connection but won't be able to charge extra for basic voice services. The money will be in extra services, such as voice mail and teleconferencing. This is also Skyper's plan. It intends to leave basic voice through Skype free but wants to change for voice mail and the like when it introduces those options. Brian Sharwood, an analyst at consultancy SeaBoard Group, said phone companies have to reinvent themselves as communications companies. Despite the reliance on local fixed-line connections, the industry is already moving in that direction, he said, selling mobile phone service and Internet connections. |

P2P phones will pressure telcos Karen Dearne NOVEMBER 04, 2003 A PEER to peer phone service launched just nine weeks ago is shaping up as a serious threat to conventional telcos. More than 2.2 million users have downloaded the software. Called Skype, the system delivers voice-over-IP telephony over a P2P network, with nodes linking dynamically to handle traffic routing and processing without needing central servers. The system was developed by the people behind KaZaA — the popular file-sharing software that allows internet users to find and download music held on other people's PCs. KaZaA co-founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis say Skype will "challenge the outdated business models and rip-off tactics of legacy telcos". They plan to "bring global unmetered communications to people everywhere". "We will achieve this by building a user-driven P2P network". CSC future technologies expert Bill Koff said Skype may "completely disrupt" the traditional telephony market. Like KaZaA or Napster, Skype forms a highly distributed network that runs on millions of private PCs running the free software. "Skype creates a way for people to make telephone calls through VoIP anywhere in the world, from PC to PC," says Koff, who is vice-president of CSC's Leading Edge Forum. "It's an example of a self-organising network that essentially cuts out phone companies as the switching mechanism for connection." Koff says the most "disruptive" technologies that will "hit the marketplace over the next 18 months" use wireless data and 802.11 technologies. "These pose an enormous threat to the telcos," he says. "Telcos have a real problem because their billing systems account for 25-35 per cent of the cost of each call. "Just taking that out of the equation for consumers means huge savings. In the US, phone companies are taking this very seriously." KaZaA and Napster struck legal problems because users were exchanging copyrighted material, but Skype faces no such obstacles because no intellectual property is involved. "This is just me connecting to you through a different mechanism than a central monopoly," Koff says. "Companies and individuals can set up their own switching mechanisms, which will completely disintermediate the phone companies." While the telcos are trying to fight the change through regulatory means, "they don't have a leg to stand on", Koff says. "It's just another business entering the sector." Although Skype is providing the software at no cost, Koff says, it will earn revenue from additional products and services that users are prepared to pay for. "This works very much in conjunction with things we've been talking about for years around VoIP," he says. "Cisco, for example, has just released 802.11 wireless telephone handsets for corporations to use within their environments. "If they have 802.11 for their PCs, they can also carry voice traffic for people in those areas. "If you can start imagining 802.11 available for free in the streets of New York, where people can wirelessly connect to the internet, you can imagine VoIP through a Skype-enabled PC that does all the switching for you." HOW IT WORKS SKYPE uses peer-to-peer technology to form a highly distributed global network of personal computers that allows users to make free phone calls over the internet. Users simply install the software on their PCs. Users see when people they want to call are available via a menu or phonebook function. Skype says its system offers better sound quality than ordinary phones, but users need an internet handset or PC headset/speaker plus microphone. All phone calls are encrypted end-to-end so they can be securely sent over the public internet.The system intelligently routes phone calls through the network. |

Skype and bluetooth headsets
Main article: Click Here (Thanks to Anil de Mello) You can also use a
bluetooth headset. Switching between your mobile phone and your PC is still a little tricky, but now you can use the same headset that you use with your mobile to speak "freely" to people across the globe. Now, I can't wait to see a version of Skype for Palm OS. Using a Tungsten C to "Skype" at WIFI hotspots would be great. BUT, how about using a Treo 600 with Skype and a WIFI SD card! Need to call a friend across the globe, hop over to your local Mc D's, Starbucks or one of the thausands of WIFI hotspots(free and/or commercial) around the world and chat away. This has got to be on the minds and agendas of those participating at the Telecom 2003 in a few weeks. |
