[Howard Rosen]

Skype is changing their offerings to US and Canada throughout 2006 as a 
promotional.

News Release:

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Skype, the Web telephone company, on Monday 
announced a marketing promotion that will allow its users in the United 
States and Canada to make free calls to conventional wireline and mobile 
phones.

Previously, users of Skype, a unit of online auctioneer eBay Inc. 
(NasdaqNM:<http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ebay>EBAY - 
<http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=ebay>News), in both countries were required 
to pay for calls from their PCs to traditional telephones.

Skype is seeking to accelerate usage in the North American market, where 
adoption of its voice-over-Internet technology has lagged other regions of 
the globe.

The promotional offer, which extends through the end of 2006, covers calls 
within the United States and Canada. Calls from North America to 
conventional phones in other countries will incur charges. Skype already 
offers free calling to users worldwide who call from computer to computer.
