Skype's Future with eBay
Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #52
Monday, September 26,  2005

Skype's been bought by -- eBay? It surprised us, too, but there may be some method in this madness, says our guest host Stuart Henshall, creator of the Skype Journal and perennial VoIP and presence expert. With Stuart, we'll ponder the eBay -PayPal-Skype platform, addressing questions such as:

• How should we value Skype? What is its long-term advantage?
• How might Skype be "better than free"?
• What does the eBay platform promise? What changes might it cause across the industry?
  

Stuart recommends listening to some webcasts on eBay's site, especially the London Lunch.

As always, an IRC Chat will be available during the call, here.
