Is Skype Going Public?

• Skype in 5 years has grown to 338m registered users.
• Their service accounts for 6% of all international calling.
• They will generate 136m dollars this year alone.
• Their 3 month old Windows Mobile app has 7m downloads and the official iPhone version is said to be coming soon.
• 6 month CEO and Zenstrom replacement, Jonathan Silverman, has great vision for the company in terms of product innovation, more open platform and paid services.
• He says they are not going public. They would rather stay under what Om perceived as the eBay safety net.

Do you think Skype could make it out on its own?
