　　如果你曾經(jīng)對(duì)VOIP網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話(huà)有過(guò)任何用戶(hù)增長(zhǎng)的疑慮，最新的SKYPE數(shù)據(jù)表明將解除這些疑慮。該公司的用戶(hù)數(shù)量增長(zhǎng)的非常快，每天估計(jì)有38萬(wàn)的新用戶(hù)注冊(cè)，這是一個(gè)非常驚人的數(shù)字。幾乎虛幻-我很懷疑自己這是否是準(zhǔn)確的，如果他們真的能獲得每100萬(wàn)新用戶(hù)的三分之一注冊(cè)用戶(hù)，真是有點(diǎn)不大可能，如果SKYPE真是有如此的增長(zhǎng)勢(shì)頭，那表明該公司是做的非常好的和有一個(gè)4.05億的龐大用戶(hù)群體。
　　最近SKYPE剛剛推出了Windows 4.0版的最新版本，這帶來(lái)了一個(gè)接口改造和改進(jìn)視頻質(zhì)量。新的客戶(hù)端有很大的改進(jìn)和易用性，它應(yīng)幫助他們獲得并留住這些大量的客戶(hù)。
原文如下：
　　If you ever had any doubts about the increasing popularity of VoIP, the most recent information coming out of Skype will dispel them. The company's user base is growing very rapidly, with an estimated 380,000 new users signing up every single day. Those numbers are astounding, almost unreal – I'm skeptical myself as to how accurate that is. If they really are getting more than a third of a million new customers every day, it's unlikely they can carry that momentum for long, but nevertheless it demonstrates that the company is doing very well with them sitting on a user base that is 405 million strong.
　　There's no detailed usage statistics along with those numbers other than the company’s claims that nearly a third of its registered subscribers now use Skype for business purposes. The increasing number of PDAs and other devices that have Skype clients is helping them, and the service itself is now representing around 8% of the international calls made worldwide.
　　Skype just recently introduced version 4.0 of their Windows client, which brought with it an interface revamp and improved video quality. The new client has great improvements to usability, which should help them get and retain those mass amounts of customers.
