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