Skype have joined alliance with Google to implement this within the Google advertising network:-

This market is really starting to shape up. This is the click to call of the future - nothing embedded into the web page, just a number that you click and dial out to with the application of your choice. I suspect we'll see this coupled to traditional 0800/1-800 numbers as well as
skypeto:// and
gtalkto:// tags.

One question that springs to mind with this new Skype/Google deal - if Skype needs Google to implement and monetise Click to Call, then just what did eBay pay $2.4bn for?
