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.

Yeah read a little, I do see ads but there aren't many but when you have over 100 million people using it a month, that will pull in some cash. Plus you have to consider that purchasing skype they also purchased all the tech to go with it. Valuable tech that can be used in many ways.

And it's crazy to see a company paying $5 a month per use for 8k users. What purpose does it have to be worth it?
