FierceTelecom popped a story today that said that eBay was going to do an IPO on Skype next year. What’s interesting is if they said that to get a higher price from the old Skype owners, who are trying to buy it back, or because Skype has over 400,000,000 users. (And that’s a whole lot of potential customers that somebody ought to be able to figure out how to make money with…)

You’ve got to wonder why they decided to do the IPO instead of getting the money now. But with that many users, I’m sure the stock will run up fast like Google did, then drop like the stocks did in 99. Oh, Wait, like they did a few months ago. LOL
