If there's one thing I've been yearning to see in this lifetime, it's advertising on Skype. Uh Huh...
Can an IPO be far behind?

Actually you probably won't be, unless you can persuade all of your buddy list to do the same, and then all move to the same one.
With a bit of luck a paid option will come out shortly, without advertising.

It has been ad free for so long. I'm happy to support their ad efforts.
How else could it remain free?

I am also hoping for an ad free/premium version.

Fair play to them, it's a fantastic service, and i'm just going to ignore them anyway..

I see no problem with ads on Skype. I make liberal use of the service. No doubt it languished too long in relative neglect during it's sojourn at eBay. That was a poor fit.
IMO, Skype has legs for the long haul, and monetizing it beyond phone charges makes a lot of sense. And, I wouldn't rule out an IPO.

Ads everywhere. This is where we're going.
