Also most don't consider the hefty license fee Skype gets from every CE maker of Skype enabled products like WIFI Phones, desktop phones, and even mobiles phones like the ones from Three in Europe. EBay maybe on the rocks, but Skype has a business model which is solid, and may lead to a total transformation of Ebays business model as a whole.

Apparently Ebay's disappointed and unclear on what to do with Skype but Skype itself is just getting started.
