I think the interesting thing about this is that you won’t have to buy the equipment — it’ll be available as a value-add. And I’ve gotta believe that this deal was in the works long before the Microsoft acquisition was announced. Skype has been trying to get on the TV for a while, and this is a big step toward that.

This is a great start to the M$oft era. I hope the next big announcement is that on my next Delta flight I can rent some contraption to Skype from the sky!
