italkbb - Review, Promotion Code ZG0901V25 & 常见问题

The worldwide explosion of Android and iPhone devices is creating new opportunities for VoIP service providers.    The spread of these powerful handheld computers, combined with the availability of open SIP clients (such as Fring, SIP Droid and Whistle), means that every smartphone user is a potential VoIP customer.

Some obstacles still remain to be overcome however.  Limited CPU power, battery life, and bandwidth capacity issues make it difficult for these devices to use the standard VoIP codecs that most VoIP carriers support - namely g.729 and g.711.  In fact, most of the SIP clients available for iPhone and Android do not even offer these codec options, instead relying on the codecs Speex and iLBC due to their superior performance in terms of CPU and bandwidth consumption.

Skype可能很快加入Twitter, Facebook和 YouTube进入中国互联网黑名单。

今天，中国日报宣布除了由中国电信和中国联通这两家国营电信公司提供的互联网电话服务都是非法的。

根据这篇文章，工信部的决定是想把Skype变成中国的UUCall或其它无法使用的类似服务。

Skype发言人建议“中国境内的用户可以通过我们主要合资伙伴TOM在线接入Skype。TOM在线提供Windows,MAC及像赛班和Windows Mobile手机平台的本地化版本。更多细节可以在skype.tom.com找到。”

而审查无疑影响了该部的决策—几个异见人士已知使用Skype与国外联络—专家称还存在一种明确的保护主义动机。毕竟，中国拥有世界上增长最快的网民数量。

2007年，Skype与香港互联网巨头Tom集团合资，这家公司至今满足了大部分北京的审查要求。3月，Tom集团与谷歌断绝了联系。Skype中国也被批评帮助共产党监控诸如“FLG”和“西藏”这种称呼的电话。

但是，北京邮电大学教授阚凯利告诉电信报“他们关闭Skype的可能性不大。”

“Skype是市场领袖，但还有MSN和Gmail,iTalkBB。那些中国政府官员留学的孩子们使用这些服务给家里打电话，因此我不认为会有任何人切断线路。”凯利说。“即使他们采取严厉措施，比如让当地运营商关闭Skype使用者的宽带服务，人们还是会想出办法绕过它。”

今天早些时候，Skype增加了在iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch上的视频电话。

After having already banned Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the Chinese government has now decided to outlaw Skype, as well. The move means that all Internet IP phone services will now be considered illegal within the country, except for those offered by two state-operated telecom companies — China Unicom and China Telecom.

The new regulation will ban all ip talk phone calls made from computers to land lines, but it may still be legal for users to make computer-to-talk calls. The Chinese ministry of Industry and Information Technology has not yet announced when the ban will go into effect, and Skype declined to comment on “speculation” that its phone service would be blocked on the mainland anytime soon. “Users in China currently can access Skype via Tom Online, our partner,” a company spokeswoman affirmed.

Others, however, aren’t convinced that China will be able to completely root out competing online phone services. A professor at Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications, told the Telegraph that a comprehensive Skype shut-down is “very unlikely.” Even if the government did manage to wipe out the service consumers could always turn to similar services, like iTalkBB, or ibbtalk.
