Skype will have PayPal

25th March 2007

At the conference in Silicon Valley executive director of Skype Limited Niklas Zennstrom spoke of a new feature that will soon be embedded into Voip-communicator Skype. According to Zennstrom Skype will have payment functions which are be based on a network billing system PayPal. The exact date of the new programâ€™s release is not known yet. The situation has been clarified after one of the Luxembourg developers specialists said that the new Skype-PayPal service will come out within a month. It should be recalled that Skype and PayPal belong to auction recourse eBay. The two companies began cooperating rather recently, it is due to PayPal , that Skype users can put money on account to make calls on city and mobile phones. Skype-PayPal includes not only payment of accounts, but absolutely all transactions that PayPal supports. Skype users number about 171 million people around the world. Skype Limited developers report that the daily 250,000 people are added Skype users. There is, however, a blot on the landscape: some countries do not support internet telephony services, as they consider it as a threat to business telecom companies, and blocking access to the Skype Web site. Some American providers strongly advise their customers to exceed overusing this program, if they do not want to be among the disconnected. Banning reason isn great financial loss for telecommunication companies that lose a lot of money because of the possibility of free contact with the recipient country, and providers whose data channels become overloaded due to mass â€œskypingâ€. Skype is going to resolve the situation with providers in the near future.
