Re:Skype is a dead-end. (Score 1)

I agree. Skype no doubt created embarrassment amongst the VoIP folk by showing a small company could solve many of the problems the standard bodies are working on. This said, it's still a long stretch of the imagination to see a commercial VoIP protocol make a long term stand.

History shows that open standards will rule and I for one would put money on SIP compatible phones winning the VoIP race.
