Skype hasn't revealed any financial details of its business. But the company says more than 2 million people have signed up for its SkypeOut service since it launched in July 2004, and the last million of those have been added just since March. The service requires a minimum purchase of ten euros, or about $12.40, so that's at least $12.4 million in revenue for the year. Take into account users who buy extra minutes, other services like SkypeIn and voice mail, and accessories like phones and headsets, and it's likely the company's 2005 annual revenue will be in the neighborhood of $20 million.
And eBay may pay over $4 billion for it! Who says there's no Internet bubble anymore?
