Om Malik, who has longstanding relationships in the investment community and has tossed aside his managerial role at GigaOm to do what he loves best, be a reporter, dropped a bombshell last night with initial details that Skype’s current management and the founders of Skype may be closing in on a settlement surrounding the JoltID technology.
Om has hinted that he’s got a lot more, and I would tend to view this as an evolving story, that will unfold and due to the egos involved, and the number of parties to the lawsuits (yes lawsuits) there’s still a good chance this can go sideways.
My advice…stay tuned.
