Skype is in play

New rumors on Skype being targeted by eBay for a deal value at $5bn. This comes after speculation of News Corp making an offer for the VoIP company last month. I could see eBay offering Skype services to its users interested in asking live question prior to a bid on an auction but otherwise, synergies could be limited... Or am I missing something here such as eBay becoming a generalist portal such as Yahoo! Anyway it's interesting to see how hot is VoIP within the industry.
