On Wednesday, Cisco will attempt to convince an appeals court for the European Union to reverse the approval of Microsoft's acquisition of Skype in 2011 by the European Commission



From Neowin:

Reuters reports that Cisco will take its case to the General Court of the European Union on Wednesday. The company announced in February 2012 that it would appeal the Commission's ruling, but it's unlikely that the general court will overturn the Commission's decision.

Cisco has been critical of Skype in the past for using what it calls proprietary standards for its service. In a November press release, Cisco said those standards hinder "Skype's more than 600 million users from calling non-Skype users, and prevents businesses from reaching them via systems that offer services such as healthcare and job training by remote video."
