How's this for a measure of
ringtones' frothiness: VoIP pacesetter Skype has licensed music from Warner
Brothers to sell ringtones for $1.50 each. Why? Because it's not enough for everyone in a crowded theatre to know
your wife is calling when "The Bitch is Back" erupts from your cell phone. Your dog and plants need to know
it as well.
Never mind that Skype allows you to choose music (in WAV format, no less) from your hard drive for ring tones. After being purchased for $2.6 beeeeellion by eBay, it's time for Skype to start earning its keep.
