I was involved in discussions with an operator that wanted to take over Skype traffic and terminate it on the PSTN. In the end, he was not chosen by Skype though. During that discussion SIP was mentioned.
So, conjecture 2) seems to hold.
For the gateway question, my thoughts are as follows:
- As during the discussion iLBC was mentioned it might be that Skype does nothing with the RTP stream.
- The RTP--E1 depacketization is for sure not under Skype's control or ownership.
- If Skype runs RTP relays (transcoding to e.g. G.729a) or if the partner takes iLBC and decides to transcode it to something intermediate until voice hits the PSTN GW seems an open question.
