Silverman says Skype targeting telecom profits

In an interview with the Mercury News, Skype CEO Josh Silverman says Skype...

plans to offer consumers and companies less expensive options for conference calls and 900 numbers

Big profits "probably means there's significant market inefficiency," Silverman said. "Skype can come and make things more efficient for consumers and build a reasonable business for ourselves along the way."
