Well.. it seems Google's idea to integrate Google talk in Orkut is finally working. I never used to use Talk regularly before as most of my friends use MSN. But now, there are usually 4-5 people online on my Talk account at any given time. So Talk is finally gaining ground as an IM and VOIP platform.. but lets look what else is going on..
Yahoo! may have allowed users to add friends from MSN to their list but there was something more interesting in the news yesterday. Yahoo! has got permission to start providing VOIP services in India. BSNL, the PSU telecom provider is planning to VOIP calls to USA for as low as Rs 1.5 a minute.. which is the same roughly rate for calling a landline number from a mobile phone! AOL was also in the news recently as they are also planning to start IM and VOIP services in India in a big way.
So.. death of the landline phone? lets wait and see.
