According to the Times, Skype is set to bring in over 600 million this year. Back in April, eBay announced that it planned to separate Skype from the company, beginning with an IPO in the first half of 2010, depending on market conditions.Skype is a great standalone business with strong fundamentals and accelerating momentum, said eBay President and CEO, John Donahoe back then.
