- Skype is a proprietary voice over Internet Protocol service and software
- application originally created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, and
- owned by Microsoft since 2011.
- 
- The service allows users to communicate with peers by voice, video, and
- instant messaging over the Internet. Phone calls may be placed to recipients
- on the traditional telephone networks. Calls to other users within the Skype
- service are free of charge, while calls to landline telephones and mobile
- phones are charged via a debit-based user account system. Skype has also
- become popular for its additional features, including file transfer, and
- videoconferencing. Competitors include SIP and H.323-based services, such as
- Empathy, Linphone, Ekiga as well as the Google Talk service."
