Skype Jumps to Cellular

Now it is not just the old land-line phone system under seige from voice over Internet protocol providers. With Skype's announcement that it will offer voice service via handheld devices like pocket PCs good old cell phones could get some comp.

Analysts claiming that Wi-Fi needs to be "optimized" for voice need to explain what they mean as the whole point of VoIP is that packets are packets once they hit the Net.
