In all seriousness, how do they make money on Skype? I know you can add credit to call/text mobiles but does anybody use that to justify the $8B purchase?

-Advertisements on the home page

-People purchasing credits for calling/texting

-Skype for business starts at $2/user/month. To be completely honest, I'm pretty sure where I work has the $5.50/user/month one based on the features we have available. It adds up...especially when my employer alone would be paying for about 7-8k users.
