I am not sure whether this is news to the community but I hadn't seen profitability numbers before on any of the Skype blogs. The margins look pretty slim.

Ebay doesn't include these figures in the quarterly report any longer. Ebay used to do that - so my personal guess is that the number of minutes called is in a downward trend. / AndreasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
