The popularity of Skype

Given the popularity of Skype, the group video calling feature will appeal to many, especially corporate users. The video calls may include up to 10 users nevertheless Skype itself recommends no more than 5 users for better quality of calls. Something to bear in mind if you are comparing video services in perspective of becoming a customer. And you won't be much appealed by the unlimited free calls to the US and Canada and there are conditions attached - you need to subscribe for 3 or 12 months, not mentioning to 'fair usage policy' that Skype imposes on the definition of unlimited calling. In addition, there are other services that allow you to make unlimited free calls to the US and Canada, like GMail calling. And at that time, as some chocolate dust on the cream, you get the HD quality webcam for only 3/4 of the price. Deal? Like as not only if you are looking for the multi-party video conferencing stuff.
