Motorola, Skype forms marketing alliance

Motorola and Skype Technologies will work together on a co-marketing
collaboration that will provide greater connectivity options and access for over
25 million registered Skype users. The alliance will explore opportunities
across both companies, leveraging Motorola's strength in seamless mobility,
advanced technologies, mobile devices and accessories and Skype's
rapidly-growing global user base and voice and messaging communication tools.

The initial focus of the collaboration will be on co-marketing of new
optimized Motorola 'Skype Ready' companion products, such as Bluetooth
headsets, dongles, and speakerphones, as well as delivery of the Skype Internet
Telephony experience on select Motorola mobile devices

"By making Voice over IP truly mobile and easily accessible, we can make
communications seamless for consumers as they travel throughout the environments
of their day - at work, at home, in the car, or out in the world," said
Liz Altman, VP, Business Development, Motorola Mobile Devices. With over 68
million downloads of their client in the last 18 months, Skype is a natural fit
with its vision of simple and seamless connectivity for consumer customers
around the globe.

"Our alliance with Motorola is a major step forward in delivering the
Skype experience to a whole new base of mobile device and accessory users,"
said Niklas Zennström, Skype CEO and Co-founder. This collaboration advances
Skype's mission to offer expanded choice and mobility for its users. Motorola
'Skype Ready' companion products are expected to be available in the first
half of 2005.
