                                            Skype and Google are reportedly
                                              eroding telecoms revenue, a new
                                              report of Analysys has concluded.
                                              Reasons for the purported erosion
                                              include Skype’s (and similar
                                              services) robbing the traditional

                                              $18.2 billion in the year 2011. 
                                            Cisco, in its effort to increase
                                              its share of customers, has made
                                              25 acquisitions in the last twenty
                                              seven month, the latest of which
                                              is an agreement to acquire WebEx,
                                              an on demand collaboration provider,
                                              although sources are split on whether
                                              it was sold for $2.9 or for $3.2
                                              billion. WebEx itself did $380
