Skype Signs On Four Carriers in Preparation for New Pre-Pay Service
Erika Morphy, www.newsfactor.com
VoIP communications provider Skype Technologies has formed agreements
with COLT, iBasis, Level 3 and Teleglobe to provide call-termination
services worldwide. The agreements are integral to the company's plans
to roll out SkypeOut, a soon-to-be-launched pre-pay service for global
calling.
"It is very significant for the company, because it means they will
be able to offer connections to PSTN companies," Jon Arnold, telecom
analyst with Frost & Sullivan, tells NewsFactor.
In practical terms, it means that current Skype customers will be able
to call outside the Skype universe with the prepaid service, which is
why it has been called SkypeOut. Arnold said that the company also
plans to offer a service called SkypeIn -- a service in which people
who are not Skype customers can call Skype users.
