[asterisk-biz] Skype for Asterisk.

[Alex Balashov]

It may just be my profound ignorance of the merits of Skype, but I am 
not sure what the benefit here is or why it is desirable or beneficial.

It seems to me that Skype and Asterisk provide elements of VoIP 
solutions and service at very different echelons of the business market 
and are intended for very different purposes.  In other words, the sort 
of people that use Skype and benefit from Skype precisely for what it is 
on the front-end side are unlikely to be using Asterisk.

But, I could be wrong, and of course, convergence is never a bad thing. 
  It would probably be nice to be able to take Skype "lines" and put 
Asterisk features and PBX services on them.

Maybe this is sounding a lot like, "Nobody needs more than 640 kB of 
RAM!" -- so, I'll shut up now.  :)
