I found these rather interesting news today in my e-mail from Skype.
(When I tried to read more on this on Skype.com, I found that T-Mobile currently seems to block accesses to that domain. Of course that did not stop me from doing so, but I don't think, that's a good and gentile draw on T-Mobile's side. I consider this kind of censorship rather childish.)
But further on the SIP issue!
Right now Skype offers you a subscription, that costs you n times EUR 4.95 per month, where n is the number of channels resp. maximal concurrent connections resp. "calls" you want to be able to use resp. have, incoming and outgoing calls count the same.
Right now that's nothing I want to go for, as I don't even have a "incoming Skype telephone number" (I don't want pour money on a steady monthly into yet another sink for services I don't really, really need), but I assume sooner or later, they let us dial out through SIP on a per call basis, just as they currently let me dial out on a per call basis using their proprietary software on Windows, Mac OS X or "whatever"; there they let me display my mobile phone number as "the caller", that's fair enough, I don't ask for more. I have been waiting with "all of us" for Skype to act as a SIP provider for quite a while, I am quite able to wait for that next step for another (short?) while. One step is done, the next steps will follow ...
If you search for "Skype SIP" on twitter.com, you will find, that Skype have been publishing that news on markets other than Germany at least for 4 days (as of 2010-01-05).
