Sorry for the hiatus. I was, like most other Skypers, in a work-related getaway last week.

Last week was also the week of news. We put out the [news on our new pricing and Skype Pro plans](http://about.skype.com/2007/01/skype_takes_internet_communica.html). You can [sign up to get more info.](http://www.skype.com/products/skypepro/) We're now going over everything that you guys have said on all of this over the past few days, more to come.

In the meantime, kick off the week lightly with this ad for [3 X-Series](http://www.three.co.uk/xseries/). They have a [blog](http://xseries.typepad.com) too.
