Skype outage causing connectivity issues, company says it's a "global

        Microsoft's recently updated communications app Skype has been
        suffering connectivity issues which began on Monday, June
        19th, and are continuing today. After hours of downtime on
        Monday, the company confirmed the issue via a blog post and
        tweet, which stated that an incident was causing users to
        either lose connectivity to the application or lose their
        ability to send and receive messages.  Some users were also
        unable to see a black bar indicating an ongoing group call,
        while others may have had delays in adding users to their
        buddy list, Microsoft's post said.  The Skype Support Twitter
        account has this morning referred to the outage as a "global
        incident."

Running all the calls through central servers. What could go wrong?
