That's not what I meant. I was wondering if there were SIP providers
that have a subscription rate comparable to Skype's. I'd like to get
away from Skype's closed infrastructure completely, but none of the SIP
providers I've found even compare pricewise. They're all on the pay as
you go idea, and that's not what I'm looking for. As much of a pain as
Skype is, it's the only one I've found so far that has subscriptions.
Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean I wanted to make Empathy work
with Skype.
For the curious, I did try and make the skype4pidgin plugin work with
Empathy via Telepathy-Haze. Unfortunately it doesn't work, the plugin
goes into a connect/disconnect loop once you authorize haze to connect
to Skype's API.
