Tired of Being a Digital Peasant!

By Mark Evans | Published: March 31, 2009
It wasn’t that long ago that Canada was considered to be on the leading-edge of the Web. We had the highest penetration when it came to high-speed access, and the regulator – aka the CTRC – had decided not to regulate the Internet. Today, Canada is falling behind and, in the process, we’re becoming digital peasants. Perhaps the [...]

To Skype or Not to Skype?

By Mark Evans | Published: September 13, 2008
You’d think judging by this BusinessWeek article that Skype is a strategic albatross hanging around eBay’s neck. Yes, Ebay overpaid for Skype.

Skype Should Do An IPO Soon

By Mark Evans | Published: October 2, 2007
Okay, eBay blew it with the purchase of Skype by wildly over-paying. So what now? After cleaning up its books, eBay should set Skype free by doing an IPO. It would probably be embarrassing to eBay but how much worse can it get? If you step back, Skype appears to be a pretty solid business with about [...]

eBay-Skype: I Hate to Say I Told You So….

By Mark Evans | Published: October 1, 2007
I was one of those people who never got eBay’s decision to buy Skype. It didn’t make sense strategically despite eBay’s loud assertions it was a great fit.
