Re: why pay monthly?

said by elios:

they have them too if you want one

have you look at the skype store on the site?

edit or at lest they USED to sell one
guess no one even wanted to buy it

mind you if you did use ATA you would lose most of things that make skype nice like PC to PC calls and what not
which is why i guess they dont sell it any more
If they did, I never saw it, and I've looked at the Skype Store since its inception, and I've never seen a web reference to one. I suggest you're confused with something that was a USB device.

I'm not sure what the technical limitation is - probably you're right, that they want to maintain a proprietary interface so their extensible feature set works, some of which you'd lose with a traditional set.

To me, that's very short-sighted. Interoperability is key to the broad adaptation of any technology.

But I can't argue with Skype's modest success. Obviously, it appeals on both cost, and accessibility, to a sector of the market that is not so tied to area codes, dialable numbers, and circuit-switched connections.
