eBay purchases Skype

Monday, September 12th, 2005 at 10:14 pm

It seems that eBay is going to buy Skype.

The aquisition will cost eBay $2.6 Billion dollars, but will give eBay access to the country’s largest VoIP company.

Skype currently has over 54 million users on it’s (free) service, and 150,00 new users joining each day.
It’s nearest competitor is Vonage, which only has one million subscribers, which pay $25/month to use their service.
