Advertising on Skype soon?

Der Internettelefoniedienst Skype überlegt die Einführung von Werbung als zusätzliche Einnahmequelle. Diskutiert wird über Werbebanner, die in den VoIP- und Messaging-Services geschalten werden sollen.

If the advertising plans are implemented, Josh Silverman, Chief Executive at Skype, promises the British newspaper Telegraph that the advertising will be as unobtrusive as possible. There are currently no third-party advertisements in the communication services. Skype earns its money primarily from the sale of credits, which can be used to make calls to landlines or cell phones.
