Microsoft acquired Skype in October 2011. Skype is a software-based communications platform that enables real-time communications over the Internet. Skype's platform offers high-quality, easy-to-use tools for consumers and businesses to communicate and collaborate globally through voice, video and text conversations.
Skype is available on a wide range of platforms, including - Windows, Mac and Linux computers; Android, iPhone/iPad and Symbian mobile devices; LG, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony televisions.
Skype's intuitive interface enables powerful one-to-one or multi-party communications and even the ability to call landlines and mobiles at Skype's great rates.
Skype is based on a peer-to-peer architecture that has provided the scalability necessary to support the continuing growth of the Skype community. For example, for the year ended 31 December 2011, the number of Skype-to-Skype calling minutes was equivalent to approximately 25% of the total of all global international PSTN, according to estimates published by TeleGeography in January 2012.
With Skype, you can share a story, celebrate a birthday, learn a language, hold a meeting, work with colleagues - just about anything you need to do together every day. You can use Skype on whatever works best for you - on your phone, your tablet, your computer, or your TV.
We are assessing the opportunities that a new gTLD has to enhance the security and accessibility of the Skype communications platform for our more than 670 million registered Skype users.
The mission of the .skype gTLD is to lay the ground work for providing consumers and businesses who interact with Skype through the .skype registry with a more secure and authentic experience, to promote the Skype communications platform and to protect the Skype mark and associated intellectual property.
