internet - Verso sells 'vapourware', says Skype

Skype hits back at the Atlanta-based firm Verso that announced last week it will try to sell filter technology to China to stop Skype. In the Financial times, picked up by Shanghaiist, Skyp-CEO Niklas Zennstrom hits back:

...Mr Zennström said Skype had found no Chinese operator that was using or reviewing Verso’s product and suggested the US company had played a “smart PR trick”. “I don’t think they really have a product. I think it’s much more of a PowerPoint, press release, ‘vapourware’ thing.” rather than a real product.” he said.

Skype expect to get into business with Chinese telecom providers, but did not wanted to give any possible timeline.
