Skype: On The Block

Skype: On The Block

Nickname: Amber
Review: Quality of voice calls via Skype is simply great. Compared to what other competitors offer (including MSN and Yahoo), Skype seems to have superior technology and, from a business point of view, they have the early bird advantage. Skype has been projected to be a disruptive technology to telecom (as E-mail was to vs. P-mail). That's correct. But, that's also what is technology and the technology business model. Also, when everyone agrees to view Skype as a destructive technology, competing directly with Telecoms, $3 billion doesn't seem to be that huge. Does it?
