Skype - Interruptions in Phone Service Expected
Many Skype users had problems making and receiving calls yesterday (NYTimes) due to a Skype software error. The company has pinpointed the problem but is unsure why it brought down the network.
The company could not ensure that the phone service would be 100% reliable today. The problem has been in existence for 4 years and is in every user’s software. It took a unique set of events to trigger it.
Expect a software update soon. =-)
