Given that both names are spelt different, I fail to see how someone could be mistaken.

Only a mentally challenged individual could possibly have issue distinguishing the two. Sounds like the EU court is filled with mentally challenged individuals.

It just goes to show the EU's Microsoft hate train is still powering ahead at full steam.
If you are the type of person who confuses Skype with Sky then you'd probably be unable to use either service in the first place!

EU please concentrate your efforts on regulations concerning bananas, cucumbers and other important topics. I use Skype, I use Google, I use Windows - please do not take it away from me. Thank you.

Funny thing is Skype "name", was allredy exist way before MS acquire it. And the name and service, and what is skype is well known around the globe. ( it is not a new service and is used massively by enteprise and consumers, installed on a vast majority of mobiles devices and pc .
I can imagine the problem is coming more from telecomunications entreprise who still see in skype a large concurrent to their IP Phones buizness.

Did Sky get permission from whoever invented the word for the great big open thing up there that has clouds and birds in it ?

This is blatant trolling lol, wtf are they doing? .....
I think they're missing screws in their brain, or their brain is so overclocked performance improvements are mitigated into extreme negatives, LOL.....

What a waste of time and resources, who is this benefitting?
Is it another case of EU going after MS, or something to do with Rupert Murdoch seeing Skype as a threat?
