The chief exec of the UK arm of mobile operator 3 said the company is set to heavily promote IP telephony and instant messaging on its network.
An analyst has warned of the difficulty Skype faces in rebuilding its business customer base after it withdrew thousands of London-based SkypeIn numbers with just a month's notice.
The long-awaited 3 Skypephone has launched today across Australia.
Skype and mobile phone group 3 will launch a 3G mobile phone in Australia in December, which will allow Skype users to make free Internet calls to each other while on the move.
3 is thought to be working on a Skype mobile, which will give the VoIP service more presence on mobiles.
3's bundling of Skype as part of a new services package has the potential to upset the voice monopoly of incumbent fixed-telephony carriers ... if only customers knew about it.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).

Whether you plan to use Skype or not, the Skypephone is a full-featured budget priced phone and value for money if you don't break it first.
Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.
Netgear had announced a dual-mode cordless Wi-Fi phone that supports both traditional landlines and Skype VoIP calling.
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype. However, due to its size and weight you might need a bag to carry it around.
