I was one of the first that identified that it would be and made it my business to grow awareness and enable others to define their Skype strategies. Not sure I like the term micro-analyzed the various failures. I certainly rested responsibility at eBay's doorstep and recognized the challenges that lay ahead for a new CEO. It bothered me that all the news was about writedowns; which are political, relate to exits etc. Whereas --- as usual I put my hat on for how to get growth. I'd think my commentary continues to demonstrate my passion for Skype. It revved me up to think that Skype may get another opportunity to become the organization many of us dreamed about.

I dont think anyone can write a business plan to win 200 million subscribers from a softclient. Skype is a revolutionary product. These are the guys who showed the world that voice over internet protocol can be acheived wih good voice quality. Cheers, omfut Thanks alec:

I don't think that eBay really realizes what they have, as they clearly can't figure it out.
