It is worth recalling that, closer to the end of 2009, the eBay Internet auction division, Skype, was sold to investors for $ 2.75 billion. Then in an official statement eBay said that the company could not find a place bought by Skype in its infrastructure. What to do, sometimes the buyer doesn’t really know what to do with a potentially good buy.

Now, after the company's entry into the stock exchange, the expected revenue of the company may be about $ 100 million. In general, not so much, considering that the company's customers are now half a billion (!) People. According to management, in the first half of 2010, the company’s customers spent 95 billion tariff minutes. Now Skype management is actively looking for additional ways to monetize the project, and, as we see, everything is going very well.

It seems that such a project will continue to develop without any special problems, there is every chance of success, the main thing for the management now is not to miss its chance to make Skype not only popular but also very successful financially.
