Why is Skype so important ?

We do not have to forget that internet is the most powerful tool available. In order to better understand the power of the Net is important to understand that is all about speed. In fact once that we have the right speed everything will be available.

Let's talk about what can be substitute with a fairly fast and flat braodband connection:

First of all we could say that Royal Mail won't see most of the letters that we were used to send out. In oder words even if taken for granted never forget emails, as a key service. My advice is try to make them even more smart, the thing that I found particularly useful is the text notification of new emails. This service allows you to avoid connecting and opening Outlook without being sure that there is something that you want to read. Nowadays most of the ISP offer this service in some case free (www.orange.net) or charging for the messages, it worth checking it out.

Everyone knows that national telephone companies overcharge for every service, firstly the connection charge, but also for any single call. For this reason Skype as soon as made its entrance in the internet arena had a big success. The idea is easy, if we can transfer information (zero and one) fast enough we surely can send voice through the Internet (VoIP). Skype managed to achieve it so well that last year it has be bought by eBay for approx $1,5bn ... no bad ! Calls between computers connected through internet are free and is also possible to use it to call "normal" telephone line at competitive prices.

So why do not give it a go ... just download the program , register and give me a call , my username is : mcapri2003 .
