The video is uncut, no editing at all, including about five seconds in the beginning of Jeff Black, TalkPlus CEO and founder, warming up. The call is from an unaltered mobile phone. You will see the Jeff send a text message and automatically download a Java program. That app shows his Skype address book, and he clicks on Skype&#39;s echo123 acount. For those who don&#39;t know it, echo123 is one of Skype&#39;s first test accounts. It doesn&#39;t have a SkypeIn number, so you couldn&#39;t fake access by dialing a PSTN number that forwards to echo123. TalkPlus doesn&#39;t have any access to Skype&#39;s private SIP gateways. So this demo shows that TalkPlus customers can dial any Skype user by their Skype name. <br /><br />It also shows that TalkPlus has engineered a server without Skype components that talks to the Skype network as if it were a Skype client using Skype&#39;s own language. It will scale to thousands of simultaneous sessions. TalkPlus has no plans to license this technology or turn it into a product. They built it to solve their customers&#39; need to talk with millions of Skype users. <br /><br />Jeff demonstrates that Skype&#39;s protocols have been reverse engineered, and proven demand for a &quot;headless&quot; or &quot;naked&quot; Skype server. <br /><br />Shot by Phil Wolff, editor, <a href="http://skypejournal.com">Skype Journal</a>.<br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://dijest.vox.com/library/post/talkplus-demo-call-to-echo123-from-a-mobile-without-a-skype-client.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2251d5e28f21900cdf7e69f86094f?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> demo video skype voip demonstration skypejournal echo123 talkplus jeffblack
