Why Skype-Asterisk bridge matters

I keep thinking about this. Millions of Skype users, a lot of
businesses and other endeavors using Asterisk. The day the
Asterisk-Skype bridge (chan_skype in beta) actually goes out into the
wild, it suddenly becomes easy to reach that huge Skype audience.
 
I know a lot of business travelers who use Skype to talk to their
family. They could just as easily Skype to their office pbx as well.
Cell roaming? Sure if you don't care at all about the ridiculously
high cost AND poor quality.
 
I don't care about business as much as I do about geekdom. The bridge
would allow people to call Talkshoe (or anyother SIP system) with
Skype. They can call our conferences but also they could call me
directly to my phone. Yes they may love Skype, but I rarely have it
on. My SIP phones are on 24/7.
 
I hope to get a report on how the Skype/Asterisk beta is advancing
this Friday at 12 Noon EST on the Voip Users Conference
