But that doesn’t stop Business Week from joining the party. Why it won’t happen? Niklas Zennström, who thinks of himself as the next Bill Gates can’t really enter this country. Secondly - where are the revenues? Even if we are in the frothy times (and we are) this is no dot-com bubble. Oh, Skype will be sold, at a much lower price folks have been dreaming up!
