Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Skype has made SkypeOut calls to all US and Canadian landline and mobile numbers free until the end of the year for Skype customers located in those countries.
Skype expects the move to expand its customer base in these markets and "solidify Skype's position as the Internet's voice communication tool of choice".
The move will not be replicated in other countries and in many countries would be completely unsustainable. Charges for terminating calls on mobile network are around twenty cents per minute in many countries and charges to terminate calls on fixed networks, while lower are far from insignificant.
Last week Skype released a new beta version of its software that adds more features and functionality to Skype's voice and video calling options, including: SMS; simplified dialing; payments in Skype; Outlook contact integration; call quality management; simplified registration; shared contact groups; and improved conference calling.
On May 1, after just more than two and a half years in operation, Skype achieved 100 million registered users worldwide.
