Skype shuts down
- budu3 19y agoI wish they could explain further what caused the outage. I think it'll help in future designs of p2p networks.
- nickb 19y agoWord is that they're trying to comply with Patriot Act and wiretapping provisions. Since Skype's a P2P app, they need to somehow capture all these conversations.
- veritas 19y agoThis is my best guess too. Damn wiretapping. I've been cut off for 2 days now. At least I get more work done... or get more YC News read.
- pg 19y agoNow that they're owned by EBay, maybe they should have scheduled downtime once a week.
- far33d 19y agoCan anyone think of an example of another equally successful service having this much downtime?
