(FSB - October 2006 issue) -- As an online marketing entrepreneur, I'm always looking for cheaper and better communications. Skype's Internet telephony service is one of the hottest things on the Web today, slashing phone bills for more than 75 million users worldwide.
Third-party manufacturers have released a slew of Skype accessories in recent months. I tested five new Skype-ready products (read the reviews), all of which work with other voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
