El Reg "outs" Skype’s beta functionality wihch allows it to phone to a landline. Very nice indeed. This could be the end of the beginning of the end of phone companies as we know them. Provision of IP packets to the home or workplace must become another utility like water or electricity, not a high-price addition. It’s that that will kill the phone companies. Second thoughts: maybe they’ll stick around due to mobile IP provision.
