Skype has just acquired Norwegian Company Sonorit AB and its US subsidiary Camino Networks for $27M in a moved designed, or so it seems, to make them less dependent on GIPS, and more competitive with MSN, and Yahoo. It’s a speedy exit for Sonorit, which was founded by ex-GIPS employees in June of 2005, and shipped their first product in Q4 of the same year. Unless GIPS suit against Sonorit has been resolved, though, Skype and GIPS destinies will be intertwined for some time.
