The Skype projects

Skype has got lots in store for the coming months.

The Skype VoIP software, downloadable for free, lets users make phone calls from their computers to call others also equipped with the program.

The system is to be expanded to include Skype Plus, a paid service that will connect Skype calls to regular phones and SkypeOut, that will make the sytem compatible with cordless and headset phones.

On the hardware front, Skype is negotiating with Siemens AG and Plantronics for cordless phones with the Skype application.
