  New Combination - eCommerce and Communications
Recently acquired by eBay and once integrated into their marketplace, Skype will strengthen eBay’s global information and communications network and as a result, it has the potential to increase the velocity of trade on eBay, especially in categories that require more involved communications. Monetizing eCommerce communications on a pay-per-call basis could leverage service oriented business models and open up new categories of eCommerce and PayPal makes it much easier for users to pay for Skype fee-based services - numerous business perspectives are evolving.

Since the introduction of the Skype Voice Services Program and with the adoption of Internet standards like VoIP for transport and VoiceXML as the application language, now anyone can build creative new voice services for the Skype network like the horoscope of the day or international delivery tracking systems.
