The Wall Street Journal reports an important rumor that a deal is near between Microsoft and Skype. Microsoft would acquire Skype for $8.5 billion including the debt. Microsoft still makes few profits from the internet. While Skype's growth is important, it is still losing money and expanding aggressively internationally. Other potentiel acquirers are Facebook and Google.
