Cell phone World Not Ready for VoIP, Says Skype

You read it right. These words have come from the horse's mouth. Eric Lagier , Hardware and software development chief at Skype that high carrier charges are acting as a roadblock in making VoIP popular on mobile phoneslinks.

With Skype using broadband for making calls, PC to PC calls are free, calls to landlines too are quite cheap but when it comes to mobile phones, the picture doesn't seem rosy. The blame is being squarely put on telecom network operators which do not offer any attractive flat free wireless broadband package for enjoying VoIP calls and most of them levy a significant amount of charges per MB download sent to a cell phone. Besides this a number of telecom networks still do not permit Skype.

With cell phones in the reach of almost everybody and having become a basic necessity it would be really good if VoIP flourished on it but telecom network operators are not fool enough that they would step on the axe themselves. It seems that Skype's journey in the mobile world would be pretty tough and long.
