Skype confirm new price plan

Skype have finally revealed the details of the "disruptive" (we think they need to find a better translator) pricing changes they announced before Christmas. For a flat fee of €2.00 a month, Skype Pro will offer free calls to national landlines after a connection fee of €0.039 (2.9p + VAT). This doesn't seem particularly disruptive, or even revolutionary: it's a very similar deal to what I'm getting from France Telecom and Vodaphone at the moment, and BT and most UK mobile phone providers offer something similar. If you use SkypeOut on a fairly regular basis, though, it seems like a pretty good deal. We're betting this is only the beginning of eBay's plans to monetise their rather controversial purchase of Skype.
