Tellme Networks, the company bringing Internet services to the telephone, is a key partner for Skype's new program alongside Voxpilot and Voxeo. These partners will work with Skype to provide market-leading platforms and development resources with which content providers can build and charge for innovative voice services.
"Internet standards are opening the traditionally closed phone network. With the adoption of VoIP for transport and VoiceXML as the application language, now anyone, anywhere can build creative new services for the phone," said Mike McCue, Tellme CEO and Co-founder. "By partnering with Skype, we believe this community will begin to set the standard for the way people build, buy and deliver phone services globally."
Skype callers will pay for chargeable voice services from their Skype Credit account with a percentage of the fee going to the content provider who created the service. Content providers' voice services will be reviewed and the most popular will be deployed and listed on the Skype website. Details about how to submit applications and the fee structure will be announced later this month.
Interested content providers can access more information on Skype's Voice Services Program at http://www.skype.com/partners/voice/ where they will also find links to its partner platforms: Tellme Studio (http://studio.tellme.com); Voxpilot (www.voxbuilder.com) and Voxeo (www.voxeo.com) to build and submit applications for deployment on Skype.
