I just received this from the Skype PR agency:
Good Morning,
I’m pleased to share the most recent information on the Skype outage with you:
“Take a deep breath. Skype is back to normal.”
“On Monday, we’ll provide a more detailed explanation of what happened. Until then, we’d like to apologize and thank you. Precisely in that order.”
“We know how difficult and frustrating the past two days have been. And still, your good wishes kept flowing in. Thank you for the amazing patience, trust and support!”
Skype released that statement a little after 11 AM GMT this morning (8/18/07). Please expect information to arrive on Monday that more clearly answers the questions you have on this matter.
If there is anything I can assist you with in the interim, please let me know.
Have a great weekend.
Ryan Wallace
