Always insightful Ted Shelton who writes for IP Inferno and VoIP Magazine has some very witty insight about the reasons why ebay opted to buy Skype. He’s not wrong and long term this could play out.
eBay as a company that moves in very large ways, but not in very fast ways. I still see see value in the Skype purchase and more importantly the eco-system that eBay has needs to grow and communciate beyond email and the online bid and buy system.
