Microsoft pledged to keep Skype in all the places it currently is available, including mobile devices that run the software of two major rivals, Apple and Google. Only about 5 percent of active Skype users pay for it. Most of that was free, which has made it difficult for Skype to make money.
Skype users made 207billion minutes of voice and video calls last year - almost 400,000 years' worth. Those to a landline or cellphone using the regular phone network cost money, but much less than going through the phone company. Calls from one Skype account to another are free. Skype allows users to make voice and video calls for free or pennies.
But the real Skype is far more popular and bridges different computers and phones. Microsoft already has a Skype-like service called Windows Live.
