Have no doubt about this, Microsoft has the potential to give OTT<br>
(Over the Top ) Players a major boost. I think mobile operators have a<br>
reason to worry.<br>
<br>
I also expect Gtalk to pick up rapidly as in no time M$ will lock up<br>
skype for all phones bar Win7. It wont be free for long. I also expect<br>
skype to be bundled with Bing, so google will have to respond to this.<br>
<br>
It is not exactly good news, Skype will remain a technology solution<br>
rather than a community tool eg Facebook or Twitter.<br>
