This may well be the chance we have all been waiting for. If you thought that IM and VoIP interoperability between multiple clients was a dream think again. Here is a weblog post that will show how very shortly AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk and Skype wo…

No one calls their cell phone company to ask for credit when there is a wrong number dialed to them – they just pay for the minute and move one.

The same will hold true with this.

They can use the CDR if short holding times are considered to be motivated by fraud or routinely record the conversations and play back to Google. I feel the situation is the direct oppsoite – there will be clear transparency.

P2P = Phone to Phraud

Googles #1 problem now and in the future is click fraud which some claim is at 20-25% of ad revenues. Now, “prank” calls actually have a value.

Of course Google makes this deal – now they have access to millions of callers to help them inflate revenue numbers.

Thoughts?

Om points out an entry in GTalk’s blog that suggests GTalk and Skype are exploring the possibility of interoperability between them. He questions whether it is even feasible and calls on me with an ego-boosting remark. How can I not…

Skype and Google Talk are to interoperate. This is good news, not only for users of both systems, but for the Internet at large: Google Talk runs on open standards. Such a deal could mean Google Talk serves as a gateway between Skype and other clients …

This would be a serious blow to Yahoo and Microsoft’s IM plans, in addition to a serious knock against telcos.
