Skype Primes the Pump.

For those - like me - who will celebrate once Skype is out from under Ebay, this set of postings from the Skype Journal sounds like the timing may indeed be good over the next year. From increased revenue numbers, that even look good in an Ebay world, to news that the SMB's appetite for voice and video conference is growing (not sure where you might have heard that before), the investment bankers are slowing being handed something to work with.

I also love the new CEO's...'if we can't integrate Skype into the Ebay model in the next year we will have to reassess'....line. So discreetly put. No wonder they hired him.

I for one do not believe they will come cheap. Google might end up wishing they had gone ahead a year ago when rumors first started to swirl. Meg might have been an easier sell.
