Yahoo Messenger is the new Skype?
VoIP Provider JaJahjust landed a deal with Yahoo to offer its VoIP services to current Yahoo users via the Yahoo Messenger. JaJah’s existing VoIP userbase consists of 10 million subscribers. So the additional 97 Million Yahoo users should add a nice revenue boost. Skype finally has some sizable competition. TechCrunch Reports:
“Under the deal, JAJAH will provide its proprietary telephony infrastructure, payment processing, and customer care to Yahoo Messenger users using the platform for receiving calls from the PSTN network, or for making calls to land lines and mobile phones.
The announcement coincides with JAJAH moving into new territory as an indirect to consumer provider as well as its direct to market service. Yahoo is the first major U.S. technology customer/partner of JAJAH’s Managed Services and JAJAH told TechCrunch that they expect to announce new partners including landline operators, cable companies and mobile carriers in the coming weeks.”
