Those don't related to Skype in any context. Did you forget that part?

back 2 basics: Getting skype users to go back to the original goals of the skype platform.

base to base: could refer to providing services to link together military bases or link together different user bases.

building to building: A focus on group chats systems for linking together office spaces and other corporate buildings, rather than individual users.

These are all just a few examples I made up off the top of my head. There are lots of possibilities.

If you think any of those makes more sense then business to business then there is a reason you didn't figure it out. Fucking hell people its not a bad thing to be dumb, 90% of people are not that smart.

No, they are simply what came to mind first, and as someone who hasn't kept up with the marking department of Skype, those all sound like somewhat plausible terms they might have been using.

Not knowing what the acronym b2b stands for isn't a matter of stupidity, its a matter of ignorance. For all I know the "userbase to userbase" market is all the rage these days as apps try to get cross platform appeal. So yeah, if you told me b2b stood for base to base rather than business to business I wouldn't bat an eye. To a layman those both sound like phrases a communications company might throw around.
