The service he's gonna release will compete with Microsoft's Skype, and its name will be 'MegaChat'. The new features will be rolled out gradually, with the initial services starting off with video-calling, Dotcom said.
Dotcom announced the launch of MegaChat on social networking website, Twitter. The Internet entrepreneur mentioned the timeline, which lead from the raid to the announcement on Thursday. He also highlighted the launch of his newest site, Mega and also a political party in the subsequent years. Dotcom wrote, “#Mega offers a security bounty again. Please report any security flaw to us. We’ll fix it and reward you. Thanks for helping.” It was approximately three years ago that Kim Dotcom’s Megaupload site was seized by authorities and he was arrested in an armed raid on his house in New Zealand. He still faces extradition from New Zealand to the United States on copyright infringement charges and in November of 2014, he said he was “broke” as a result of the resulting legal battle which ensued. Dotcom put the cost at $10m (£6.4m) since his arrest back in 2012.
