TECH CRUNCH - Jan 26 – According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Skype has delayed its IPO until the second half of 2011 in order to increase revenues. The company filed for an IPO registration statement with the SEC last August, with the maximum proposed offering amount listed as $100 million. This was a placeholder value. Skype is on track to pass $1 billion in revenues with 124 million active users per month, though only 8.1 million are paying. The company is believed to be focused on an IPO, though WSJ's sources claim Skype's owners may be open to a sale at $5-6 billion. FULL ARTICLE @ TECH CRUNCH
