Posted by CmdrTaco on from the don't-die-during-christmas dept.

aabelro writes "On December 22th, 1600 GMT, the Skype services started to become unavailable, in the beginning for a small part of the users, then for more and more, until the network was down for about 24 hours. A week later, Lars Rabbe, CIO at Skype, explained what happened in a post-mortem analysis of the outage."

    The skype business model IS based on leeching BW and resources from the endpoints, you know.

    What is extremely pathetic is that anyone would use the skype network as anything other than a toy. But hey, it is the new American Way, isn't it?
    You guys are even going to let your government finish destroying your valued freedom of speech over the wikileaks crap... Your shortsighted greed caused your downfall, and it will be a long and painful one.

    We don't like it any better, China isn't deluded about itself like America, and they will be harsher masters.
