Mobile VoIP: Not that great, says T-Mobile CEO

At the 3GSM show in Barcelona, Hamid Akhavan, CEO of T-Mobile International, asserted new mobile phone services based on the Internet Protocol won’t become nearly as prevalent as those running over PCs.
Always-on connectivity, emergency phone services are among the technical issues making mobile VOIP services harder to implement. He also insisted on the concept of freeness intimately tied to the mobile Internet telephony: “With any mobile service provided over the Internet, you’re going to need to buy a data package.”
All of these are true, plus the protocol competition in the mobile arena. Besides SIP and Skype, there’s no other major way to make a phone call from your desktop computer.
