Slow Growing for Skype....

From El Reg : "Voice over Internet Protocol phone service Skype increased users by 20 per cent to 113m. Revenues were $50m, an increase of 13 per cent from the second quarter of 2006."

Really pretty unimpresive stuff! Both Ebay and Paypal, the other 2 axis of evil elements in the Power of 3 thingy did better.

Is there just too much competition in the VoIP space now? And what has Skype brought to the space recently?

I still use Skype, and I still think it's the best quality VoIP service, but the rates aren't cheap (especially mobile, which sucks my balance more than any online gambling!)

I figure it's about time Meg employed a little torture in order to extract better performance, after all, there is an implied link between Skype and terrorist communication.

The only thing that cheered me up this week was Kurt Vonnegut complaining that he was going to sue his cigarette supplier because it said on the pack that they would kill him and at 83, it clearly wasn't delivering! "Now I'm forced to suffer leaders with names like Bush and Dick....". Classic!
