when i interviewed there, the VP of Engineer told me skype used to be a bittorrent client, but then they pivoted, hired a ton of video compression engineers and create Skype. video calling using the same p2p technology as bittorrent
Well now that the reason for acquisition is gone (NSA wants centralized communication and europe wants protection from the US) - could the same engineers build and sell the same software under a new name - Epyks for example?
