Skype claims VoIP lead

Skype has claimed the top spot in the global voice over IP league, according to web traffic analysis by broadband management firm Sandvine. The data puts the market share in North America for London-based Skype at 46.2 per cent, giving it a clear lead over other VoIP providers including Vonage, AT&T Callvantage and Dialpad, which was acquired by Yahoo last week.
