Huh?

1. http://sipphone.com/numbers/ : there is inter-operability with other
   VoIP networks.

2. At least for voice calls, you can register your asterisk to
   sipphone.com: http://sipphone.com/gettingstarted/existing.html#1
   (Rapid users: ast-cmd add-trunk supports the type sipphone).

And this is bad for us. With Gizmo we can talk. With google talk we have
stand a chance of talking. But we're blocked from Skype.

So the future of Skype is a future of disconnected networks rather than
interconnected networks. In that sense it is bad.
