The competitive advantages of these partnerships are global reach, competitive pricing, trust, quality of service and reliability. These represent the business models for the incumbent telecommunication carriers.
On wednesday, July 28, I showed that Skype is a disrupting innovation because it delivers new important quality improvements. The above quotes show that due to the succesfull vertical disintegration of telecommunications in structure, Skype delivers the old quality characteristics of telephon communications through partnerships with telecommunications carriers. This will speed up the innovation process of Skype, because it can concentrate on service configuration and the possibilities for telecommunications service innovation.
