Cnet has a bad story about Skype's PC-to-real-phones service, SkypeOut. In my experience with them, I've only had one glitch: quality of calls to mobiles is sometimes bad for people receving the call (lots of noise on the line), while always good for me. Let's hope the folks in Northern Europe can solve the problem real quick.
In the meantime I also noted this paragraphs:
"Skype has a few hundred employees" - waow, that's a lot of people. I hadn't really realized it yet. All in customer support, in marketing, or in backroom tech development ?
"SkypeOut is Skype's only major source of income" - indeed - they need to really put extra care on this baby, as it might turn the company into a major telco one day.
"The company is testing a voice mail system, the price of which is not being disclosed, as well as SkypeIn, a complement to SkypeOut in which landline or cell phone callers can call Skype users on Internet-connected devices on which the company's software has been downloaded." - aha: at last. I really look forward to using both these services.
