Skype battles to stay ahead
Skype contributed a modest 25 million dollars to parent E-Bay's total net revenue of 1.5 billion dollars according to recent published results. The number of registered users skyrocketed in the last quarter of 2005 from 52 million to 74.7 million. Yet Skype is still battling to stay ahead:
"Skype is going to be challenged by a host of others, by services that live independently of the PC," said Steve Blood, vice-president of research at analysts Gartner. He said one of Skype's weaknesses was that it was still used primarily early adopters - people who know their way around a computer, rather than the person in the street.

Softswitch
Softswitch is a next generation software switch based on the internet protocol technology. This software tool is developed with the idea of having an interconnection between the arrays
of different media services and creating the new extensive services. The softswitch can process all type of signals for every kind of packet protocols. It works as the call agent or the controller for the gateways of media. A key element of VoIP system, the softswitch should be selected with the utmost care.
VoIP softswitch works by separating switching units from the basic network infrastructure completely. The network in the VoIP communications combines the two different networks which are circuit-switched and packet-switched networks by using the softswitch as the connecting junction among the both networks. Softswitch transfers the various data request from one network to another by processing the signals of both networks.
