Skype Protocol Has Been Cracked

This is a discussion about Skype Protocol Has Been Cracked in the Warp2search Hang Out category; At the end of 2005 I made some predictions about the VoIP industry which I will review further in a day or two. While a couple of my predictions have already proved correct, perhaps the most interesting was: The Skype protocol will be reverse engineered by August 2006 and application code will be offered for license.

Today I received a call through Skype from a friend at a company in China, except he told me he was not using Skype to call me. His company has successfully reverse engineered the Skype protocol and he wanted to call me in the United States to see how it worked between physically distant IP addresses. We talked for a little over nine minutes before the call dropped. Then I called him back using my Skype and we spoke for another three minutes.
