Skype has for now, according to Fring chosen to completely block the Fring from the Skype network, so that now no longer possible to call friends on Skype via Fring on their mobile. It seems the two software companies have come to loggerheads, to judge by PR burning that were exchanged yesterday.
To start the ball rolling, a post from Fring, announces that, after four years of honorable service, to be forced to abandon interconnetività Skype due to a threat of legal action by the latter. Legal action, according to Fring, would aim to restrict competition in the field of video Fring, return of bullying fashion, after the announcement of the iPhone 4. The announcement follows yesterday’s, that Fring was forced to temporarily suspend connectivity with Skype until we get an increase of bandwidth on your network.
Within hours, the response of Skype on your blog, which states that, despite some unsuccessful attempts to resolve amicably the exploitation and poor use of Skype API incorrectly by Fring, Skype did not in any way prevented Fring to reactivate its interconnection with the popular VoIP network, thereby denying the truth of what was said just hours before the competitor.
In short, it seems that the conclusion to this story is far from near. We can only wait and see how it will end. interesting anyway as Skype has been submerged by a flood of comments from people who invited her to be more productive and deliver more frequently updated versions of its client on several mobile platforms.
