Skype is an interesting idea but...

I'll second KrK's commits. Ebay bought a good thing, but paid too much for it. Way too much.

Also, I think most clients on ebay really dont want called all hours of the day. I wouldn't.....

I have had Skype for about a year and I am very happy. Some lag from time to time and dropped calls. But not enough to look else where. I have both Skype in and out.

Skype has potential... and it's not like I'm knocking Skype here... but ebay shelled out a ton of dough, and now is upset because Skype hasn't made huge revenue gains. Buying Skype and expecting short term gains was naive IMHO.

"Duh..." is kind of the way I see this one. Skype is all about making things cheaper for consumers, hell, even free or as close to it as possible. That hardly sounds like a plan to make a massive growth in revenue....

Long term, lots of potential. Big profits now? Not likely.
