Rumor Mill: Yahoo to enter VoIP fray?

Silicon.com has this article, replete with analyst speculation, that Yahoo Inc. is in the throes of tossing its hat into the VoIP ring. Probably within the next two weeks, according to this article from the Red Herring.
Yahoo already offers PC-to-PC calling following its acquisition of Dialpad, so at least two analysts from Daiwa and Piper Jaffray will not be gasping for breath if Yahoo gets more aggressive about entering the space.
Speculation at this point amounts to a two-prong strategy for the Yahoovians, viz. free, stripped down type service, and a premium service with more bells and whistles. Naturally, we'll be watching the signal traffic for signs that this will indeed come to pass, and report it here.
