Skype once start looking on decline phase but this deal will totally change the story.

Gizmo5 had unlimited calling plans to Skype users, but i do not see that anymore. They have something better now, however: integration with Google Voice. As well we really tight integration with Nokia handsets. Gizmo's problem has always been an unwillingness to aggressively market and build a userbase. A shame, since they have a client for many, many platforms. Why would Skype’s buying Gizmo5 result in Skype going SIP over their proprietary protocols?
