Twins. EQO and SoonR are growing as twin brothers. Both are startups. And both permit mobile phone users to make Skype calls.

Twins. Recently EQO mobile platform partnered TOM, the Skype Chinese partner, to bring Skype into mainland China. Now it’s the SoonR’s turn to allow mobile Indian users to make Skype calls, Om Malik reports.

“SoonR has signed a deal with Tata Indicom, one of the largest and fastest growing telecom operators in India. The company also owns a CDMA-based mobile network. Given that India, with about 100 million mobile subscribers, is one of the fastest growing mobile markets, this simply will result in a sharp uptick in the number of users of this service.”
