Frankston: Skype is the Future of Connectivity
Bob Frankston, agent provocateur, says Skype is the Future of Connectivity, not IP2. He points out that the edge connectivity of Skype is mobile by default, doesn’t require meshing, and implicitly includes a distributed directory. Encryption allows connectivity without having to trust intermediaries.
Most importantly, Bob identifies that the real value for EBay may be in the creation of a trust community that frustrates phishing and local gatekeepers.
Cool!
