Skype introduces new rates and connection charges
New Skype Pro tariff plans will come into effect as soon as possible (exact dates are not specified). Tariffs provide a monthly fee of? 2 per month for calls within the country, and as a bonus they offer lower tariffs for international calls.
A fee of 3.9 eurocenta for the connection is entered on SkypeOut calls in all directions.
The appearance of new commercial offers from Skype could have been expected, because eBay paid for Skype ? 1.9 billion and should somehow return the investment. The subscription fee of two euros for calls within the country is a real competition with national telecom operators, both cellular companies and traditional telecoms. Connection fees are a new source of income that will generate millions of dollars a month.
However, Skype Pro tariffs are unlikely to be beneficial for most Skype users. Now the average subscriber spends no more than a few dollars a month on SkypeOut, so switching to a new tariff plan with a subscription fee of £ 2 will be unprofitable in any case, no matter how attractive the reduced international tariffs look. New tariff plans will be beneficial for the most active users of Skype. In the future, it is these users who can generally refuse both cellular and wired telephones in favor of VoIP.

Skype Pro tariff plans with a subscription fee for calls within the country are a copy of the subscription fee introduced in the United States since 2007 after a long marketing campaign, when local calls were provided free of charge. Now it became clear that the marketing campaign was testing new tariff plans for the global market.
Along with the announcement of the new tariff plans, Skype announced a global reduction in prices for SkypeOut calls to some countries of the world. The cost of one minute of conversation is reduced to? 0,017 for the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii. For some regions, discounts reach 65%.
Connection fee of 3.9 eurocents is entered on calls in all directions. Judging by the press release, it will be activated for all users of SkypeOut, except for calls on unlimited tariff plans within the country (USA, Canada, UK). Perhaps Skype Pro subscribers will also not pay for the connection when they make calls within the country. The situation remains unclear. All we know is a brief mention in a press release .
