eBay working on alternative software for Skype
Written by ShopOne on August 1st, 2009 in Linked News.
EBay Inc. is developing software it might use to continue running the online telecommunications service Skype if it cannot resolve a legal dispute with a separate company run by the service’s founders.
In a filing this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission, eBay said it has started developing an alternative to the technology it currently licenses from Joltid.
The company noted its efforts might not be successful, however, and could lead to a “loss of functionality or customers even if successful.” Regardless, building such software will be costly, eBay said.
