Quotes

"With our work at Kazaa, we began seeing growing broadband connections and more powerful computers and more streaming multimedia, and we saw that the traditional way of communicating by phone no longer made a lot of sense."; "What we are doing is taking advantage of the broadband Internet to provide basically unlimited free calls to anyone at a higher voice quality than they can with the phone lines."; "We have 2 million users in the U.S. and about 13 million worldwide in more than 200 countries."; "We also have a conference call feature where up to five people can talk on one Skype call."; "They also can combine voice with instant messaging and online file sharing.";  …

"Then people started using it more and more and it became the most downloaded software on the internet."; "Skype is for any individual who has a broadband Internet connection."; "In fact, we just surpassed our first 1 million simultaneous users online."; "If you can use a Web browser, you can use Skype."; "Another differentiator is that Skype is free and simple to set up, and it costs us virtually nothing for a new user to join the Skype network, which is why we can offer the service for free."; "And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more."
