Comcast reportedly axing Skype on Xfinity June 1st

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/skypexfinity.jpgWell, Comcast’s idea to charge users $10 a month for set-top Skype hardware went as well as you could have expected. If *DSLReports *sources are correct, the offering will be quietly retired on June 1st due to, surprise surprise, “low adoption.” If you were one of the few triple-play customers who ponied up for the gear, fear not, as the leaked internal e-mail says that existing users will continue to be supported. Given that you can snag subscription-free gear from Logitech, Biscotti and others, it’s no surprise to see Skype on Xfinity joining Cisco’s Umi on the island of misfit telepresence devices.
