Are you on Skype - 3

Will Skype be taken over? has an interesting piece covering the VOIP market and the idea of consolidation.
Excerpts:
As I follow the evolution of Skype, I have been starting to ask myself the question: Who is going to buy Skype? A recent report from British broadband equipment maker Sandvine says that more than 1,100 VoIP providers worldwide had opened shop by the first week of April. As with most business cycles, we know that consolidation will eventually occur.
So what would they be acquiring? - Skype is a global player with a global "brand" that is gaining value - Skype seems to have a fair amount of valuable relationships with partners around the world. - Skype has a proprietary network and a large user base (giving it some sustainable competitive advantage
.) - Skype has lots of users and lots of momentum (though it probably does not have lots of revenue).Is SKYPE already inside the enterprise or Will it in the near future -- Comments Please.Prashanth RaiPermalink: Are you on Skype - 3
