Wait a second: eBay bought Luxembourg-based Skype from the Scandinavians for $2.6 billion in 2005 - a lofty sum that made the heads of many in Silicon Valley spin. Can the founders now really hope to block the resale of Skype by pulling the technology on which it runs? "People are puzzled about how this happened," says analyst Stephan Beckert with Washington-based TeleGeography Research. "One thing I can say: You don't want to mess with Zennstrom...
Harvard has promised to distribute $100,000 in these awards each year for five-years. We understand that $500,000 is not an especially large sum of money, even within the $25 million in benefits that Harvard will disburse to Allston as part of the Cooperation Agreement for the Harvard Science Complex.

Those seats require that you first buy a 30-year license, which costs between $16,000 and $150,000, depending on sight lines and your desired degree of excess. And that sum doesn't include the cost of season tickets that range from $59 to $340 per game for those seats. Team Marketing Report, a sports-business publisher, maintains a Fan Cost Index, which is the average cost for a family of four to purchase tickets, food and drink, programs, caps and parking...
