Rich has today's big story. Skype and Digium announced they will collaborate and this is good news for enterprises, developers, resellers... the entire ecosystem.
There's also a Skype for Asterisk beta program that's launching. Details canbe found at www.astricon.net/skype.
The initial beta program will be limited to a small group selected to represent a broad cross-section of potential users and developers. Depending on results of the initial phase of the beta , the plan is to open the program to a much larger group.
I'm about to hop on a plane, but rest assured Rich will have more of the story as the day progresses.
