cisco mau beli skype buat push voip

TechCrunch's Michael Arrington is reporting that Cisco has made an offer to buy Skype. Arrington says that the deal would have to be in the $5 billion range, since that's what Skype is hoping to raise with the IPO that it has filed for. A Cisco purchase would, of course, short-circuit the IPO process.

VoIP player Skype has appointed Cisco's Senior Vice President Tony Bates as its CEO putting to rest the industry speculation of a possible Cisco's acquistion of Skype. Tony Bates is the General Manager of Cisco's Enterprise, Commercial and Small Business Division. He was overseeing $20 billion in annual revenue and was also responsible for charting out the company's global strategy. Tony Bates will replace Joshua Silverman, an ex-eBay executive, who has been at the helm since 2008.
