Residents of Europe in the near future will be able to use the Skype service at a reduced rate through
Cloud WiFi access
points . To do this, it will be enough just to enter the access zone with a phone that supports this technology.
The leaders of the two companies signed an
agreement according to which
Skype users will be able to communicate over the wireless Cloud network without any time limits for only $ 13 per month. However, for this you will need to purchase a phone with support for Skype from
SMC Networks . This is still the only mobile WiFi phone that can be used in this service (it costs about $ 277), but agreements with other manufacturers will be signed soon.
In the UK, the service will be launched before the end of this month, in other European countries by the end of the year. The Cloud, with more than 8,500 hot spots, is currently Europe’s largest wireless provider.
