CRN | VoIP, IP Telephony | Competitors Threaten Skype With A Smackdown

"It's been a good few weeks to be a VoIP user, and a bad one to be Skype.
To a great extent, up until now Skype has had a lock on the consumer P2P VoIP market, and even though its recent move into business VoIP hasn't been universally well-received, things looked rosy for the company in that market as well.
But a trio of competitors makes the future less rosy for Skype. Yahoo, the well-financed startup Jajah, and the big Web site Lycos have all released no-cost or low-cost VoIP P2P solutions within the last few weeks, attempting to muscle in on Skype.
Watch Out for Jajah "
