Skype joins Wal-Mart's Internet marketplace - Yahoo! News

Handsets, webcams and other gear from Skype, a pioneer in PC-to-PC calling, will be sold in more than 1,800 Wal-Mart stores starting Monday.

The Wal-Mart partnership is the latest sign that Skype has arrived on Main Street, says Don Albert, vice president of Skype's North American operations.

"This brings Internet communications to the masses," he says. "This relationship is an acknowledgment that Skype has arrived in the mainstream."

Skype will show up at Wal-Mart with its own discount offer: a prepaid calling card.
