Skype reached 100 million registered users

Skype, the global Internet communications company, announced that its registered users have crossed the 100 million milestone. The VoIP company says it now has more than 100 million registered users of its free Internet-based calling service. This is more than two times the number of users the company had last year. Last year, Skype was bought by eBay in a deal that was worth between $2.5 billion and $4 billion.

“Skype has grown in leaps and bounds by making it simple for anyone across the world with an Internet connection to do something they could not do before - talk for as long as they like, to whoever they like for no cost. Passing 100 million registered users within such a short time reinforces how much people love how easy Skype makes it to call friends, family and colleagues all over the world for free,” said Niklas Zennstrom, CEO and co-founder of Skype.

The thing that makes Skype so attractive to users is the same formula that Google uses. It’s simple and it works. However, while Skype has proven to be enormously popular with consumers, businesses have become increasingly concerned with the unfettered use by employees at work. Many employers are worried that the file sharing capabilities of Skype present a security risk to their organisations. Anyway, Skype is a new phenomenon, which showed the way how to make some piece of software extremely popular…

    It’s very interesting to see that skype - despite its 100 million registered users - has only around 4 million users online…

    well “only” 4 million is quite a lot in my opinion, for application which is freeware and not much advertised…

    can people hide they are online? maybe a lot of people use it for internal networks between friends and family only and an option to hide the fact you are using it means you aren’t seen in that count in your client?
