What's the future of MSNP

Question

This is my first question here. I've been researching a lot about this but nothing came up because the news about this are too recent.

I'd really need to know the future of MSNP when skype replaces msn. What will happen to apis that connect to @hotmail.com, @msn.com or similar through MSNP??

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

As pointed out by NoPyGod, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/live//default.aspx states the following:

We recently announced that we’ll begin to encourage Messenger users to start using Skype. As a result, the Messenger developer program will end. Existing implementations that use Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) will continue to work until October 2013. Existing implementations that use MSP will continue to work until March 2014.
