Skype Named as the Largest Long-Distance Phone Company
by Wyatt WalterAccording to a TeleGeography report, Skype has been named as the world’s largest long-distance phone company. Skype now accounts for 8% of all international call minutes. Skype’s international call traffic grew 41% in 2008 to 33 billion minutes. The online service allows users to talk from Skype client to Skype client for free. The service also includes a pay-for “Skype Out” service for calling a standard phone using a Skype client. That service also generated 8.4 billion minutes of calls in 2008. For this, Skype relies upon traditional phone and cell phone infrastructure. The Skype client also provides users with IM, video chat, and file transfer as well.
