The NY Times is running a piece called The Cloud Hanging Over Skype on the recent $2 billion aquisition:
Why were the winning bidders willing to pay so a high price for a company whose very existence could be threatened by this lawsuit? One possibility is that they have nerves of steel. The other is that they know something nobody else does.
It’s an interesting question. With the lawsuit from the Skype founders, Zennstrom and Friis, hanging over the company like a dark cloud, it seems like a colossal gamble. Even more so given the current economic climate. Following this story is going to be very intesreting.
