[asterisk-biz] Asterisk with Skype

[mogorman]

not only that but voice chat over internet worked with aim back when i
was in highschool, skype's only claim to fame is that it always worked
and they used wideband audio.  And I will put a good deal of money on
the line that skype will not release an open api that will allow
asterisk to work with it, so there will be no chan_skype in "a few
months."
