It is very interesting for me to read this post. Thanks the author for it. I like such topics and everything connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.

Any word about Rogers? (As I say this, Fark’s “unlikely” tag is clearly visible in my mind’s eye)

There’s a lot of talk about ATT’s lack of VOIP apps. Wonder if Verizon Wireless has any VOIP apps on its meager apps site. I didn’t see any when I checked their site–seemed like they had only 100 apps.

“It will be a much more valuable addition to people who consistently have 3G coverage, which I think is probably most of us.”

Did you see the maps in the Verizon commercial??

This is completely surprising! I don’t use Skype because AT&T’s lowest amount of minutes (when you account for free mobile to mobile and virtually unlimited nights and weekends) is sufficient for me, but it will be interesting to see if the people who buy the unlimited everything plans scale back in light of Skype that can now be used anywhere. I will say though that it’s not a perfect solution because I have tried Skype over EDGE via jailbreak and it’s not particularly reliable in my tests. It will be a much more valuable addition to people who consistently have 3G coverage, which I think is probably most of us.

@Guido:

My thoughts exactly.

That, and Verizon going Android.

Skype needs notifications to be really useful. Its silly to have to use Fring/IM+ to get skype to be a usable calling option.

I wonder if this would’ve still happened without big brother doing their investigation??? Either way, I’m happy!

wOOt! Pretty surprising. How long will take for Skype and the players to get 3G app updates out? Now I wonder what this could mean for Google Voice, even though it is not a VoIP service.
