Skype+eBay: a retrospect from within
Let's look back at what really happened a week ago, how it was received within Skype and what we make of it. First things first, we now have a [FAQ](http://www.skype.com/company/news/ebayfaq.html) to answer some of the questions we received through the past week.

Maybe I'm just silly, but you don't pay $2.5bn for a company and a technology you don't intend to use - and profit from. I don't know enough about it all to intend that to be negative, but the FAQ and this post sure try to paint a picture that nothing is different. While that may be true for now, I wouldn't expect it to remain so.

I read a blog today about a company that has created skype blocking software and is selling it to Internet service providers...mainly traditional telcos. Can you elaborate on what this means for skype. I would think telcos would be very happy to implement such software as a defensive measure. Do you see this as an issue? How do you plan to avoid being blocked?
Thanks!

Skype is such a great company, I am surprized to hear that the management has a policy of ignoring rumours, as if their behaviour had nothing to do with the rumours. In my own experiewnce we used to say rumours existe when the people in the company did not have enough information to make sense of their environment and the information in it. As a result they become anxious and talk to one another trying to make sense out of what's going on. So begins a new rumour cycle. Ignoring rumours may cost you in terms of trust. Eventually you end up leading the organisation through rumours instead of real management information.
Apart from this pinch you are doing the greatest job of creating voice is free and getting rid of the redundant Telcos-the ones that may cling to an old busines model of voice priced ito time and distance. A Luta Continua!
