On: Court says Skype's name is too similar to Sky's

[andor]

Since Skype is by far the more popular (and important) service, I suppose "Sky" should change their name ;-)

Depends how you define important; Sky's $18bn market cap is testament to their customers spending an awful lot more money on satellite television and telephone landlines than on VOIP calls.

Neither party will change their name in the near future, and the lawyers from both companies that have made a lot of money fighting each other will be equally keen to make more money stomping on anyone with the temerity to start an EU-based VOIP service with a name like SkyPeer or SkyBe
