It has been a long time since Level 3’s founder Jim Crowe has spoken in public, but the power of GigaOm’s Structure 08 conference and the city by the bay was enough of a magnet to bring the venerable broadband IP and SIP based communications visionary out to talk Om Malik told me today by phone.
Crowe will keynote the one day event in San Francisco on June 25th…
Jim Courtney on GigaOm Today

Pal Jim Courtney has penned a very good round up piece about Skype on the Go, and had it posted on GigaOm as one of the guest blog postings that have been appearing there in Om Malik’s absence.
As someone who has been using the 3 Skype phone, I can tell you it is a very different experience having real presence when mobile. It makes the "free" calling also very valuable. When I’m in the UK I find myself in cabs or in cafes, and no longer needed my laptop to be open, yet I can find the people I need to talk to, and have pretty much eliminated any kind of telephone tag. That in itself is a reason to have one if you’re in a country where it works.

whatever Skype is doing, it’s working: the company expects to generate $195 million in revenue for 2006, more than twice the $60 million it made the previous year. Going forward, Skype aims to build revenue based on e-commerce applications.
VoIP provider Skype released a new beta to its users on Wednesday, adding click-to-call functionality aimed at increasing its use in e-commerce applications. The company also plans to add additional features aimed at generating revenue from the free service.
Skype 3.0 would bring to fruition the online business functionality that eBay alluded to when it purchased the company last year. Many questioned the move, saying the price the auction site paid was well above its worth.
Another new feature would allow a user to be able to manage up to 100 Web-based chats with users, regardless of whether or not they have the VoIP software installed. The feature could be embedded into any Web page using just a few lines of code.
GigaOM’s Katie Fehrenbacher gave the new beta version of Skype high marks. "Probably the most interesting feature is the plug-ins for Firefox and IE that turns phone numbers on web sites into Skype buttons where users can click-to-call," she said.
"This will be really helpful for stimulating click-to-call ecommerce, and must have been on the level of what eBay had in mind when they purchased the company," Fehrenbacher continued.
