Russian Telcos: Skype Is Hurting Our Business And Must Be Stopped

,----[ Quote ]
| Over in Russia, for example, it appears that a bunch of telco execs are 
| complaining about Skype. They at least try to pass off a plausible 
| non-save-our-asses reason: mentioning security, but they don't do a very good 
| job hiding the truth.

Why eBay Should Open-Source Skype

,----[ Quote ]
| The great thing about opening up Skype is that it wouldn't affect its
| business model, which is already based on giving away the code, albeit in a
| closed form. Money could still be made from the outbound calls from Skype to
| ordinary phone lines. But freeing Skype completely would encourage wider use
| of both it and its protocols as an entire ecosystem grew up around them,
| leading to more users, and more opportunities to sell them subscriptions or
| pay-as-you-go plans. The only thing that eBay would lose are some of its
| problems....
