What Questions Should I Ask Skype?
I'll be speaking with someone from Skype soon for an article I'm working on. While I have a list of questions that I'll be asking, I thought it might be cool to poll the community here and see if there's anything that YOU would like to ask. Regulatory issues, the future of VoIP, pricing - the sky's the limit, so please post your questions here - there's a pretty good chance that they'll be answered!

video
Since Skype is about the only VOIPish technology out there that works behind NATs with zero configuration, I'd like to know when they plan to attempt video? Their website states that it's in the works, but is it in the works for 6 months from now or 6 years from now?

When will you add the option to transfer files between Skype users?
When are you going to add ink support for Tablet PC users?
Like silentmuse, I'm eagerly awaiting webcam support.

I'd like to know when are they going to have phone calls to landline, like Stana is doing now? If so, would they "franchise" the gateways in each country, to have a bigger coverage of ending points to the POTS?

What is their business plan? I am to dense to understand how you can maintain a company, giving away software designed to let you make free "phone calls". It's the giving it away I don't get, not the application.

A second vote for Skype to PSTN and PSTN to Skype support.

lower bandwidth?
from what I understand, the bandwidth necessary for this app it Wifi-high speed. what about slower 1x/GPRS/dialup? since it is only audio, maybe a little less hungry for bandwidth resources?

(1) Bluetooth headset support for Pocket PC?
(2) PSTN to & from Skype (like Stanaphone)
(3) Video support (even on Pocket PC... I know, I'm crazy)
...that's all for now.

Nice for the price.
I like the product. Though my 5555 has echo issues when using it. Does SKYPE expect to support connections over a local network? Do they recommend using an external headphone set to listen, possibly to stop the echo. Do they plan to chage for the service.
