Microsoft's Skype service for calling landlines and mobile numbers with a computer from Skype is now officially considered a telecom service covered by telecom laws in the Netherlands. The move comes after a European Court ruled in early June on a case between Skype and the Belgian telecom regulator BIPT.
In the Netherlands, telecom providers are required to register with the ACM (the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets) if they offer a service for calling fixed and mobile numbers using voice over IP (VOIP).

Now that SkypeOut officially is considered a telecom service, it is under obligations to report data breaches, making the service interceptible and ensuring the 112 emergency number is always available, tweakers.net noted.
