    CISCO has made an offer to acquire SKYPE - the leading internet calling software maker from ESTONIA before the company completes its IPO filing process.

    It's being speculated that the deal, if goes through, will be a very high, amounting to $5 billion or more. Google on the other hand has not made any offer because of antitrust concerns.

    This could be one of the sliest vertical integration Cisco could make =P I can already imagine a proliferation of Cisco's VoIP hardware products running over Skype's interconnects.

    What I'd like to know is, will Cisco open up the proprietary Skype technology or let it remain closed?
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
