Skype, an eBay company, reports operational statistics quarterly in a conference call for analysts. This market, hosted by Skype Journal, will predict Skype’s performance. There are several metrics they share for the Skype subsidiary: quarterly revenue, downloads, registered accounts, Skype-to-Skype minutes, SkypeOut minutes, and peak number of users online.
Related factors:
“Downloads” includes updates, upgrades, and copies on multiple devices. Major new Skype releases, times when they force users to upgrade, and positive non-tech news boost download rates.
The “number of user accounts” registered at Skype.com reflects cumulative Skype user adoption. Growth is affected by Skype’s word of mouth virality, marketing campaigns, and enterprise adoption where hundreds or thousands of accounts may be created for employees and partners.
“Peak number of users online” reflects active participation in the Skype network. The number of users online cycles based on time of day, day of week and by season. PC-independent phones are always connected to the Skype network, so their sales raise the base number of always connected users.
