Michael Robertson was enthusiastic in an interview given last March. According to him, at the end of the day, “Skype has a big problem because they’ve built their system on a proprietary protocol instead of SIP”.

But both open and close source voice application would coexist in the future. Example: Pika releases a solution called AllOnHost that allows Asterisk-based applications to use Skype to receive incoming and/or make outgoing calls.

Skype clients running on Windows based PCs are connected to the channel driver via PIKA’s AllOnHost (host-based) voice processing technology. Skype clients can be distributed across an unlimited number of Windows PCs to achieve the density requirements the voice application may require.
