I am sitting in Johannesburg International today and using their wireless Internet to pass the time and do some work before my connecting flight at 16:00. I have a conference call at 13:00 this afternoon so to save some money I asked the people to use my SkypeIn number instead of my South African mobile number. The SkypeIn number is a local London 0207 number that forwards the call to any computer that is logged into my Skype account.

I am absolutely blown away with the quality of the calls. We just did a test run to see if the dodgy wireless here can handle it and I am astounded by the perfect quality and zero delay. Better than anything I could imagine.

Skype (or should I call you E-Bay), I applaud you. Thank you for making communication so simple.
