This may happen because Google and Yahoo are great competitor and Yahoo have Yahoo Voice and Google dont have any such service so may be they start there own or may buy some existing one.

Skype is most popular one so may be….But dint heard anything officially about it.

Thanks

Skype could have been the p2p IM voip company of the world. thanks to eBay this did not happen, but okay it happened. something like skype does not belong to an auction house. something like skype belongs to the world, just like google and search for information belong to the world and not to one big auction house… Skype and Ebay are incompatible and that was proven. Telephony and communication should be free for all. The little green Skype icon should be put in the 100 dollar laptops and send to the underdeveloped countries. Communication over p2p should be free which is why Skype can never become a Telecom… Maybe Skype can regain some of it’s breath and sould by joining google. eBay could sell it to Google and get it’s losses back. Skype get it’s sould back and eBay gets it money back…

They should grab Skype and iSkoot along the way.

Every international mobile phone call over an Android phone could then be delivered as calltrough over Skype's network. The local part of the call would be paid to the normal cell phone provider. The international termination, which is just few Cents, could be free and sponsored by Google's advertising.

Skypeout would be free. Every mobile phone call would be local. Skypout on PC would be entirely free and sponsored by Adsense.

According to Jesse Chan (http://fishtrain.com/2007/10/30/google-worth-more-than-rest-of-the-big-web/), as of last month, Google has “no debt, and over $13b in cash and marketable securities”. Let’s assume they can increase their debt to about 2.5 times earnings, that’s 2.5 x $4b = $10b more. So a total of $23b to invest…
And, don’t forget that Google has already been rubbing shoulders with Skype for some time now; they dove into the FON.com project hand-in-hand years ago.
My opinion: if Skype is really up for sale, Google would make for a great adoptive parent. And we all know that Skype is not done growing.

What a great quote form skype, they promoted their own product, and coyly avoided denying the rumor. It’s a brilliant quote actually. Give the person who wrote it a raise.

Things are getting funnier by the hour. In other news "AT&T: Not Too Worried About Google Wireless"

If Skype acquisition takes place and Google Wireless plans get green light I cant stop but smile at AT&T becoming the dumbest pipe, oh forgot the mobile thing - I also meant moving pipe :)

It surely looks like a huge stretch , but just thinking of it makes me feel even better.

How would this tie into the GrandCentral purchase they already made?
