After ShoreTel, where will Skype integrate next?

Tools

Andy Abramson is offering some takes on future partners for Skype for SIP now that ShoreTel has been announced as the first integrator. He sees some interesting possibilities in Skype integrating with Avaya, Polycom, and my personal favorite of the group, Cisco.

Andy wonders what a "Telepresence Light" offering might look like if Skype and Cisco join forces to provide lower-end video conferencing, much in the way the SIP offering is integrating Skype into the SMB market.

With Cisco announcing its intent to focus on all things video going forward, it would not be overly surprising to see it move down stack from its high-end Telepresence offerings as small businesses see increasing utility in video communications. Though, A. Michael Noll, in his weekly column at FierceTelecom, thinks that video conferencing might be headed toward a bursting bubble. What's your take on Skype for SIP, the next Skype integration, and video conferencing?
