internet - Testing Skypecasting II

I just played around using Skypecasting a bit, as a preparation for a larger test on Monday. The number of people hanging around right now is still pretty low: I have met some of the same names in different Skypecasts.
What might scare off people a bit is that you have to accept a "Skype-out" call to enter a session. While my credit was not touched, that might still be a barrier. In the future Skype might actually start to charge for some extra services and that is probably why they have added this function that does not make sense for a free service.
Sounds quality was rather different. Sometimes of a much lower quality you would get on a one-to-one skype call or on a regular conference call. Sometimes is was excellent. Functionality works pretty well, you can mute people and in emergencies even kick them out. I did so a few times to test the system and people were back pretty fast. So, when somebody really wants to be a nuisance, you cannot keep them out. Guess that is one of the functions you might have to pay for later: to have a really private conference.
