SkypeIn Canada: Launching Next Month?

Chalk this up to a rumor I've heard indirectly through the ITSP grapevine. Turns out that Skype is going to (finally) launch its SkypeIN service within Canada. According to my contact (who doesn't work there) several problems seem to have hit Skype while trying to launch this, including e911 issues, the fact that they were bought by eBay, CRTC changes, and the fact that number portability is in the cards. Do I believe all these excuses..... not really. But I do trust the sources as he's someone who does have some access to the ITSPs. These supposed problems may also point to why when calling from Vonage to 1800 numbers they register you as residing in the states. Not sure. But here's hoping all those users who have been clammering for the Candian numbers can get them.
