Skype For Business?
I missed this announcement from last week. Businesses can now get premium VoIP-based Skype conferencing services through a site called Highspeedconferencing.com. The latter licences a conference bridging service from Vapps. What it amounts to is Skype for business, something people have been wondering if Skype was ready for.
Skype themselves said, late last year, that they were not ready for a place in the enterprise. However, this service seems a step in the right direction. And the price is fair: only US$4.99/month. For that fee, you get moderated services, "hand raising" for conference participants, recording and downloading, high speed conferencing, and more. A regular speed conference call is free, as is a virtual conference room. You can also use regular phones instead of Skype for an additional fee.
