Sources have said this week that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been actively speaking to Skype about a potential buyout or a joint venture.
If accurate, the report says Facebook could pay up to $4 billion for the video chat service.
More likely, however, the two companies will tie-up for a new joint venture.
Additionally, Google appears to be interested in a similar venture, as well, and has had "early talks."
Skype only commented to say: "As a practical matter, we avoid commenting on rumor and speculation."
