What do you know about Skype? You probably use the now Microsoft-owned Internet phone and chat service for business or pleasure, but we want to test your knowledge of Skype facts.
Skype has become synonymous with Internet telephony – a handy term instead of clumsy acronyms like VoIP. The actual application has become all pervasive – hitting Windows Phone most recently – whilst the company which created it has had a fascinating history.
Skype itself has been owned by a series of industry heavyweights, while edging towards a commercial model that might make revenue without putting off the subscribers.
It has added features one by one (not necessarily in the order you would expect), and has also had a few bumps along the way.
Under the covers, Skype isn’t always the software you think it is. We think you might come out of this quiz knowing and appreciating an Internet icon a little more.
