Who will own Skype? Om picked up the phone

It looks a little like this:

Om Malik estimates:

• Silverlake Partners: $1.48 billion.
• Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investment Board: $300 million.
• Index Ventures Growth Fund: $70 million.
• Andreessen Horowitz: $50 million or a sixth of Marc Andreessen’s new $300 million fund.

So that almost answers #5 of our twenty spinoff questions "How is the investor pool structured and divided? Which funds and people own what?" We don't know if they'll all get the same stock, seats on the board, if anyone (banks, executives, employees) get small slivers of Skype Ltd. We also don't know who invested in Silverlake's fund.
