Microsoft and MCI VoIP

December 11, 2005

Just reading Tom’s blog where I learned that Microsoft and MCI are teaming to provide a SkypeOut-like service.

Amazingly, Microsoft is trying to claw its way back into a market they used to own. This is something the mainstream media doesn’t ever reference as VoIP was covered by only a few publications in the late nineties when all this took place.
