EBay Mulling Skype Sale

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the do-you-hear-that-flushing-sound dept.

MaineCoasts writes "The Financial Times reports that eBay's new CEO is evaluating a sale of Skype if new ways cannot be found for the fast-growing service to support its core e-commerce business. EBay reported earlier this week that Skype had a 61 percent increase in first-quarter revenue over the same quarter last year and now has 309 million users worldwide."

    I think you're confused. Skype is internet telephone software, for voice data. It's free, so it's free as in speech.
