ANSWERS: 1

Response from Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype: The next version of Skype will enable people to post a link on a blog or Web site that will take people to a public chat room when clicked on. The live chats would be "Skypecasts." Skype has had conversations with many social-networking sites about offering services that would allow users to share content with each other in a conversation. The biggest challenges Skype faces going forward are to get the service onto mobile and handheld devices and to generate revenue from services other than telecommunications. Telecommunications revenues for all companies will drop as the sector's business model moves to offering free phone calls.
