Daum Communications Corp, South Korea’s second-largest internet portal has announced through a statement the launch of VoIP services through Lycos. Lycos, if you forgot, is Daum’s American subsidiary. It acquired the company in 2004.



Now that makes Lycos yet another VoIP player in the bazaar that is a virtual war zone with over 11,000 players and where biggies like Skype, Yahoo, Google, EarthLink etc., etc, are fighting it out.



So what will be Lycos’ USP? Well, if Daum is to be believed, Lycos will focus on offering multimedia services involving VoIP services, including free internet calls from PC to PC, landline or mobile.



Ok, let’s see how successful this venture is going to turn out to be. Nonetheless, since Lycos has years of internet experience, I am sure it will not be a pushover. It can be a serious fighter for a bite in the pie.
