Web millionaire : Niklas Zennström
I recommand you this portrait from Silicon.com : Niklas Zennström
Extract : Niklas Zennström is best known as co-founder of Skype - the voice over IP internet telephony service that has been enabling the wired world to talk for free since 2003 and, more recently, to indulge in video calling too. As such, he's a regular feature on the Agenda Setters list.
Indeed, since Skype turned up on the tech scene it's tough to find a year when Zennström hasn't figured in this list - back in 2007 and 2006 he made the top 10; in 2005 he ranked in the top five and made the top three in 2004. This year the serial entrepreneur continues to be a serial Agenda Setter, landing just outside the top 10 in 11th place.
So what's so special about Zennström? In the words of one judge he's "a one-man innovation powerhouse". As well as co-founding Skype - and selling it on yet keeping hold of the P2P technology which underpins the service - Zennström has a raft of other start-ups to his name. What a concept !
