Function
Skype is a VoIP service that allows you to make telephone calls using your computer that uses a high speed Internet connection. The service is free to those calling other Skype users, even those from other countries. Skype also offers a low-cost SkypeOut service that allows Skype users to call landlines.
History
Skype was first launched in beta form in 2003 at the beginning of the high-speed Internet boom. Because the new system required a broadband connection, it did not undergo heavy testing before going live later that year. Skype quickly gained popularity as a free telephone alternative, and had a million users after only a year of operation. The service kept on growing, and was purchased by eBay in 2005. Soon after, support for streaming video conversations was included. Most recently, Skype has added extended landline support, released Linux- and Mac-compatible versions, as well as a PSP-compatible version.
