With Skype IP-telephony it is comfortable to bring your business confidently to the global market. Internet telephony has long been the jealously guarded secret of computer freaks. Skype literally changed how we communicate. Traditional telecommunications companies like AT+T pressed the panic button and launched their own IP-telephony service. At first Skype was launched as an IM software tool with voice as an add on. But within a very short time it became popular for making phone calls over the net. Like other voip providers Skype does not rely on a centralized infrastructure to route the calls.
So Skype, different to other Voip providers like Vonage and Lingo, can get as big as possible without spending extra money for technology based on a centralized infrastructure, since Skypes network really consists of thousands of interconnected PCs owned by people like you and me.
The recent acquisition of Skype by the Internet auction leader Ebay for an unbelievable amount of $2.6 billion reveals the potential of the power of voip.
What is the profit when I use Skype?
You only need a microphone and speakers to make calls with Skype. The calls are excellent in most countries. Most people think they know what Skype is. They know how to make free calls with a PDA, PC or laptop over the net. But Skype is not only a PC-based IP-Telephony technology.
With these additional software tools Skype turns into a great marketing tool:
Redirect your calls with SkypeIn to your Skype number no matter where you are. Than redirect the call with SkypeOut to your mobile. Offer your ebooks e.g. in Italy and ask for a local phone number. When you answer the call with SkypeOut on your mobile no one will know that your are sitting on the porch in your garden in Washington.
The real power of Skype lies in the additional software tools SkypeIn and SkypeOut to make it an essential tool not only for business owners.
