Under the agreement, iSkoot will have certain exclusive rights to offer
Skype-branded mobile software enabled by the iSkoot solution to mobile
network operators in Argentina, Greece, Israel, Norway, South Africa,
Switzerland and Turkey. These products will deliver mobile Skype voice
functionality based on circuit switch-to-VoIP technology. iSkoot delivers an
end-to-end client/server/gateway solution that leverages the ubiquitous
circuit switching infrastructure of the traditional voice network and offers
either an on-premises or iSkoot-hosted ASP implementation.

"This new agreement with Skype underscores the commitment to our
partnership and the success that partnership has built over the past two
years," said iSkoot Founder, President and COO Jacob Guedalia. "By
integrating Skype with the mobile operator's network, iSkoot creates a
win-win solution that delivers Skype-to-Skype calling, Skype presence and
Skype chat on almost any phone on virtually any cellular network. iSkoot
brings to the Skype community the mobile functionality they desire, while
adding a killer application to the mobile carrier's content portfolio -- all
without undermining infrastructure or existing business models."

"For nearly two years, iSkoot has been working with Skype to deliver
Skype on 3's mobile network," said Gareth O'Loughlin, Skype's general manager
of mobile and hardware devices. "With iSkoot, we enabled Skype on a wide
range of handsets on 3's network and most recently launched the 3 Skypephone.
We are looking forward to building on our partnership to bring Skype's mobile
offering to more of our users."
