Verizon Wireless, Skype to hold joint press conference in Barcelona

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: A joint press conference will be held by Verizon Wireless and Skype at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

It has been said that the companies will announce that Skype will be able to function on all Verizon smartphones over its 3G network, the way rival AT&T has recently allowed Skype to function over 3G for Apple’s iPhone.

A few years earlier, wireless carriers hated VoIP companies like Skype because VoIP was believed to threaten phone companies’ core businesses by moving more phone calls especially international long-distance to the Internet.
