And while I do think WebRTC will affect Skype as well (and there are signs of adoption by Skype for WebRTC), I am going to ignore it again here. I am interested in SIP and H.323 – both are a burden when it comes to WebRTC. Why? Because they are pretty hard to implement in a native web browser environment. H.323 has no such implementation. I dare you to develop one. SIP has something called sip-js. Rather new. It won’t encompass the whole complexity of SIP, and it is a single option. Compare it to the 10s of open source and commercial offerings of SIP SDKs out there, this isn’t enough. XMPP on the other hand, has a few Java Script implementations, making it suitable for native web browsers. 9 such libraries are listed in XMPP’s home page. Why?
