March 2006

Members of the Skype Mobile team will be at CTIA Wireless next week and we’d love to hear from companies and individuals who would like to work with us in bringing Skype to the global mobile community.

Please email us on ctia2006@skype.net with a brief explanation of who you are and what you can do to help us to delight and grow our global community of over 75 million users.

I’ll be at the Symbian Partner Update event on Monday and courtesy of our friends at Brightpoint, we’ll be at the Mirage on Thursday night and at other times we’ll be roaming the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center…

Have a great CTIA,

Tony
