Skype announced Monday a beta version of Skype For SIP for Business users, allowing SIP PBX owners to benefit from Skype's low cost calls to fixed phones and mobiles around the world, and to receive calls from Skype users directly into their PBX system. According to the Wall Street Journal, Skype may scrap its guitar-and-rainbow logo to be taken more seriously by business users.
In a recent Analyst Day meeting, eBay said it expected "hyper growth" in Skype revenues, predicting revenue of over $1 billion in 3 years, assuming an economic revenue in 2010/2011.
The Skype For SIP beta program for business users opens today. SIP users, phone system administrators, developers and service partners are invited to apply at www.skypeforsip.com. Applicants will need to be businesses, have an installed SIP based IP-PBX system, as well as a level of technical competency to configure their own SIP-enabled PBX. The initial beta is available to a limited number of participants. During the beta period all calls will be charged at standard Skype rates. Further pricing details will be announced when the product is fully launched later this year.
