iTALK2U - Skype Clone?

Print This Post Print This Post | 03.17.04 | Stuart | Comment?

Is the P2P telephony space too crowded? Here’s a potential Skype twin that may just emerge. Litfiber has announced iTalk2u — although no “beta” can actually be downloaded. Beta supposed to be released in May.

Note:

  • Litfiber recently went public,
  • All Litfibers announcements have a strong “Homeland Security” emphasis. This may be politics. It may also suggest a new political play in the VoIP arena. (What do others know?). Now what sort of Spyware are we talking about? What’s this mean for iTalk2u?
  • If Litfibers strategy is to own the towers (their site says 200 but from a source I heard they control 2000? of 2600 nationally??? a key footprint) then this is not just a Skype play but a WAN development to really fill their 770 strand highly underutilized pipes.

    From their site.

    Litfiber is proud to announce that it will be releasing its BETA of its new VOIP product iTALK2U in May 2004. The product will be based on two initiatives while focusing on its users needs:

    (1) Homeland Security: The number one concern associated with any large organization is communication, also the need for security, speed, quality, hardware cost and bandwidth cost to name a few.

    If that
