Both Accton and Inventec successfully developed their Skype Wi-Fi phones late last year, but they can hardly ship the products due to lack of relevant certifications from Skype. According to Accton president Ken Lu, his company's Skype Wi-Fi phones are sold in the global small office, home office (SOHO) and enterprise markets under its own brands of Edge-core and SMC. The firm has also won orders from Belkin, a leading computer peripheral brand in North America. Accton claimed that its monthly Skype Wi-Fi phone shipment is expected to reach about 40,000 units. Inventec said that it has started to fill a Skype Wi-Fi phone order from Netgear, the No. 3 SOHO networking equipment brand in North America, with its first-batch shipment outstripping 10,000 units. The Taiwan company said that Netgear has started selling such product on its website. Geoffrey Prentice, co-founder of Skype, said earlier that the Wi-Fi Skype phone is his company's first try to directly implant Skype software into a compatible hardware
Some institutional investors pointed out that currently the global number of Skype-service subscribers is about 113 million, serving as strong momentum for pushing the development of Skype-enabled products
Skype is the world's fastest-growing Internet communication offering, allowing unlimited free voice and video communication among Skype e-users. Skype is available in 27 languages and is used in almost every country around the world.
