IT-Director.com: Project Gizmo Challenges Skype

IT-Director.com: Project Gizmo Challenges Skype: "At the forefront of much individual usage has been the solution supplied by Skype. So successful has Skype been that the company name has already started to transform into a verb -- 'To Skype'. However, Skype's current pre-eminent position is now facing a serious challenge with the launch of Project Gizmo.
...
The major difference between the two, lies in the fact that Project Gizmo has been built using an open source philosophy around the emerging SIP standards. In addition to being based on the SIP open standard, Gizmo has publicly stated that it is committed to interconnecting its IP telephony system with those operated by other organisations. Gizmo already has links to several other VOIP networks including certain Asterix based systems."
