30 Million Skype downloads coming up right now skype.com

Very impressive. Downloads are currently running at 10,000 an hour or more [I'll do a count].

Old time telecom companies in big trouble.

Skype and Livedoor [Japan] have announced Skype is now going in Japan. skype.com

SkypeOut, with calls terminated to landlines and USA mobile phones for US2c a minute is a big problem for ye olde telecom companies. I can sit here and chat to Tarken [our son] [working at Livedoor in Japan] for no cost per minute.

Skype phones are now coming out: pcphoneline.com They can be used in apartments, offices, hotels, or on the street connected via USB to a PDA or notebook computer if they can download and run Skype.

Tarken told me Livedoor is gung-ho on Skype now. The contract is signed and the website is up: skype.livedoor.com
There's a link in the livedoor.com site too. Niklas, the Skype founder/boss skype.com went to Japan to jointly announce it with Horie, the Livedoor owner/boss it.nikkei.co.jp

Tarken says Horie is a really good guy. He is very impressed.

And look, Livedoor is the Eudora distributor in Japan: eudora.livedoor.com

EDIT: Clicked over the 30 million mark. Just then! Post time and date as above.
