An effort by San Jose State University to ban the Skype phone service has been put on hold in the face of fierce objections from students and staff.
Administrators said they would meet with eBay, the owner of Skype, on Tuesday in order to give the San Jose-based company an opportunity to address the university’s concerns about network security.
San Jose State is the third California university to impose restrictions on Skype.
In January, the University of California-Santa Barbara announced it was prohibiting Skype because the license agreement it presented to users gave third parties access to the university’s network. UC-Santa Barbara said it would allow other computer-calling services.
