  David Willis, an analyst at Gartner, said eBay will need to find more creative ways to monetize Skype's technology if it's ever going to recoup some of its investment, adding that eBay's struggles with Skype are "not due to issues with vision but with that of execution."
  
  "eBay's September 2005 acquisition of telephony vendor Skype was overpriced by any direct measure: technology value, user base and revenue," Willis wrote in a research report released Tuesday."Skype now generates only $1.60 per subscriber per year.However, eBay was correct in its vision of interconnecting the worlds of business applications and communication capabilities."
  
  Willis said Skype's basic technology could have been purchased elsewhere for about one hundredth of the price, and chastised eBay for expecting too much, too soon.
  
  "Internet telephony users do not carry the same valuation as other users such as ISP subscribers," he wrote."The market was not ready to adopt Skype as a means to integrate with commerce.Users see its services as an inexpensive or free calling option, not a means of accelerating their business as an eBay buyer or seller."
  
  While Skype has more than 220 million registered users, Willis said the barriers to competition are low and alternative offerings from the likes of Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and AOL have emerged, putting even more pressure on eBay to monetize the Skype platform.
  
  Along with simplifying its developer tools, Skype plans to incorporate more payment options for users who want to play games or buy widgets and applications developed on the Skype platform.Skype claims it now has more than 6,000 community developers working with its platform and that its 130-plus integrated applications have garnered more than 32 million downloads in the past nine months.
  
  Willis said that eBay could build upon a number of Skype strengths to build out future revenue streams.Those include the power of the Skype brand, which he said has become synonymous with PC-based Internet calling, and users' proclivity for communications integrating instant messaging, conferencing and other productivity applications.
  
  "Many are interpreting eBay's statements as if it is backing away from Skype," he wrote.

  According to David Willis, vice president of global networking strategies at the META Group, it's a strategy that won't likely produce more leads.
  
  "Time is not on their side," he said.
  ...
  Willis said the state of the industry has made it nearly impossible for Global Crossing to get more than pennies on the dollar for its assets.What's more, the potential pool of bidders,namely incumbent telephone companies in the U.S. and abroad,is extremely shallow.
  
  "It really comes down to in-country monopolies that want to make an international play," he said.

  Mobile vendors are increasingly hungry to sell data services to businesses, according to Meta Group analyst David Willis."The carriers are struggling with how to justify the massive investments they've made, when all they've done so far is sell ring tones and SMS messages," he says.

  David Willis, Program Director for Global Networking Strategies at The Meta Group commented, "Carriers are rapidly moving to a packet-based infrastructure, yet traditional circuit services continue to be their most consistent source of revenues.Providers that can bridge the gap between the circuit-switched and the packet-switched worlds will not only survive but will thrive.Solutions that will enable IP carriers to provide reliable TDM services are a rare find."
  
  The IPmux-16 with T3/E3 interfaces is the latest in RAD's IPmux family of TDMoIP gateways.It provides a simple, scalable, and easy-to-configure solution for transporting TDM T3/E3 services over IP and Ethernet-based networks.Carriers and enterprises can implement this technology while protecting their investments in legacy PBX and TDM equipment.
