$8 billion for a free video calling service doesn't seem like a very good business decision to me. 

Key words

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?

At my company we use Skype for several conference meetings and that cost money. So if there are tons of other companies like mine, thenI'm sure they're making money.
