well, the article says traditional call are routed over the cell network.
That basically implies that SkypeOut calls don't even exist!
Skype-Skype calls go for free, but there's no way in hell that a cell provider will actually market a service to cannibalize their existing services. (Well, u can go buy a smart phone over here, and get EV-DO service on it. Then its just a matter of loading Skype software on it.
So yea, if a cell provider itself actually advertises low-cost Skype-out calls, thats the end of their actual cash cow business.
Talk about marketing gimmicks......... |
