Skype connected to the SIP world

We won’t over enthusiast ourselves on the newly released PSGw 2.0 (Personal Skype to SIP Gateway). After all, the software solely works on Windows XP/2000, takes 10 MB hard disk space, shows a simple almost grass-root look-and-feel. But byfitting itself between the Skype and the SIP layer, it allows Skype users to call their SIP cousins.But who uses SIP? Basically supporters of the Michael Robertson’s Gizmo Project and maybe soon, Google Talk users.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol, see Wikipedia) is a communication standard that permits voice over IP. Since its launch, Skype has never been complying with SIP, due to its own close source technology. Jon Arnold, independent analyst, as Olga Kharif reported for Business Week, believes that sooner or later Skype will need to cope with the standards. Maybe they will, maybe some other people will do for them.Feb 8, 2006 | By Nuno
