Yahoo Buys Into VoIP - Jim Wagner, Internet News
Yahoo acquired VoIP provider Dialpad Communications on Tuesday to bolster its computer-to-computer telephony service. At its Web site, Dialpad Communications officials stated its software will be used as a core component for Yahoo's voice communications products across its portal network, as well as in its instant messaging (IM) application. According to Dialpad officials, Dialpad's PSTN calling features will be added to Yahoo Messenger, allowing users of the IM service to make calls directly to landline or mobile phones. It's added capability for Yahoo, which last month launched a beta version of its PC-to-PC VoIP Messenger service. The service was an update to the IM platform's existing voice chat service.
