Ebay cuts back its value of Skype


EBay has conceded that it paid too much for internet telephone service Skype - dramatically writing down the value of its investment.

The online auction firm said it would take charges of $1.43bn (£699.5m) on the 2005 purchase, when it paid $2.6bn for the business.
