the numbers say it all:
- $26 In CASH per download.
- 43x current year revenues.
- works out to about $20 million/Skype employee

My comment:
i hope Skype won’t change for the worse. Cos I like the tool and use it often.
the above numbers are motivation enough to power the dreams of hundreds of start-ups for years to come!
ebay, paypal, skype….I have said it before, but I never have happy thoughts when I watch fusion buys. And who knows, in the end it’s all being taken in by some Warner type of monster. I favour diversity; but rest assured that the next indie gadget is somewhere out there already.
