And once Microsoft took ownership of Skype, that hatered was instantly transferred to Microsoft as well. So Skype is hated by the mobile operators/carriers. Please take that in mind, as you read this blog I wrote half a year ago, and the insights in this blog - plus the severe arguments we have in the comments where many Microsoft fanboys try to defend the indefensible) It is a fact, admitted by Nokia's CEO himself, that some carriers are refusing Nokia Lumia and Microsoft Windows Phone sales, because of Microsoft's Skype purchase. Elop answered that it is true some carriers/operators refuse Lumia but that Nokia hopes to use other arguments to win those carriers/operators over. Nokia's CEO was asked directly about carriers refusing Lumia sales due to Skype. ( UPDATE Nokia's shareholder meeting has just ended. Skype may well provide good synergies for various Microsoft properties - but not its mobile initiatives. Note, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Microsoft, as they get most of their business out of Windows OS for the PC and the Office Suite etc. I went on record saying that this is the death-nail to Microsoft's new smartphone operating system Windows Phone 7, because mobile operators/carriers hate Skype with a passion. So we heard that Microsoft bought Skype in May. I meant to write this blog a while back but was just too busy before the summer vacations.
