This is the second time Skype has been bought out; after being started in 2003, it was purchased by eBay in 2005 for $3.1 billion. EBay then sold the majority of its stake in 2009 to a private investment group for $1.2 billion less than it paid.
From this story.

Wow. Is Skype really that important/valuable? It seems like something I used back in the Mousepod days and haven't really used since.
