Skype will be huge but you have to wonder where the profit is going to come from. If everyone moves to skype, just where do the call charges come from? OK, that's a bad-case scenario but they're not making huge bucks and the potential isn't there like Sirius or XM. Both of those are trading on future subscriptions and hype, if Skype becomes subscription based they'll lose the majority of their customers. Also it's rather obvious that AOL/MSN and even Google will soon be adding VOIP to instant messaging programs.

The only thing Skype will trade on will be marginal profits and hype of a buyout (Fox is a potential suitor apparently, though their latest purchases don't make sense to me)
