Skype Technologies, the
internet phone company recently acquired by
eBay, has announced that it
is in talks with Chinese state-owned operators to offer fee-paying
computer-to-phone services.
Skype currently operates in China through a venture with
Tom Group, based in Hong Kong,
and claims to have a "few million" users in China.
However the VoIP firm does not directly market its fee-paying
SkypeOut
service in the country because of regulatory barriers.
SkypeOut allows subscribers to make calls around the world at a fraction of
the price charged by national operators.
In a parallel announcement Christoph Caselitz, president of
Siemens' mobile networks
division, said that China may issue 3G mobile licences one at a time next year.
The first permit is likely to require an operator to use the Beijing backed
TD-SCDMA
standard, according to the Financial Times.
