Unbound Spiral blogger and friend Stuart Henshall points out that Skype has turned one this past week.
My view is that Skype is the forerunner of the global telco. A company that operates without borders, is free of regulation and eliminates many of the hurdles associated with server and switch based telephony. This space, in which they are not alone, includes others who have even grander plans and who need to be closely watched as well.
