I’m pleased to see this. Skype (along with P2P and many other technologies) have been banned from staff/faculty use in the university I work at for fears of security issues on our network. We use H323 video conferencing, and have been for several years, for music instruction and distance teaching. While it has been extremely reliable, and the quality (particularly of the audio), makes it very usable at a relatively high level of music instruction, its expensive and somewhat proprietary. You need the expensive compatible hardware both ends. This can make it hard to reach, in particular, remote communities – the very people who we need to be communicating through this technology with.
Before Skype was banned, we did use it for audio conferencing where video conferencing connectivity wasn’t possible. I’m very sorry that we no longer have the ability to use it and hope I can do something to help convince the university to allow Skype communication.
