Skype and eBay have been in a hot mess about Skype’s peer-to-peer (P2P) online telephone technology for months now. Well, they might be close to settlement according to the New York Times and other independent sources.
Skype founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis sold Skype to eBay in 2005. And just like the “mornings after” with any big purchase, when John Donahue stepped into the role of eBay CEO in 2008 he began to assess and reassess how Skype meshed with eBay as a whole. EBay ultimately decided to sell the internet phone service, which was the second most profitable business within eBay. It announced plans to hold an initial public offering for Skype, on the basis that the online phone services did not achieve a perfect fit with other eBay businesses.
