Comcast says it will as well release a specially designed remote control “that enables customers to text on Skype as so then as control their television.” Those on the receiving end of the call, says the release, don’t need any special equipment aside from their regular Skype tools.The service, which will be available "in the coming months," will as well allow regular Skype actions just as importing contacts from their phone, Outlook, Facebook and Gmail.
