Resident Fierce VoIP Skype-fanboy, Doug Mohney has alerted his readership to yet another Skype-related press release, this time from research company Telegeography.

It seems as though Skype are now carrying 8% of the world’s ‘cross-border’ VoIP traffic. You can see the impressive pie-chart after the jump.

Doug ponders: “Why would anyone (eBay) want to sell off the world’s largest long-distance provider, so long as it is making money?”

Here’s a recent news article about a company that claimed to carry 8% of the world’s VoIP traffic in 2001. Telecoms is a fickle business and being the biggest does not always mean being the best. In 2009, the words “too big to fail” are no longer on anyone’s lips.
