Michael Robertson moves beyond Skype open/closed debate
Rather than bicker over what “open” means and whether Skype is open or not, Michael Robertson has just ignored the whole thing and taken action instead.
Today, Gizmo5 launched OpenSky, a SIP to Skype gateway. if you want to call a Skype user named echo123 you simply call SIP address sip:echo123@opensky.gizmo5.com
The free version can be used by anyone for calls up to 5 minutes long. For longer calls, you need to use their paid service, which is $20 per year for individuals.
I guess this will test Skype’s claim that no one is asking for this service.

I can’t buy this service and use it unless I want to expose myself to any Skype spam caller. Even more important if I have my Skype forwarding to my mobile. But yes it works.
