I found that this article about Skype to be very interesting, especially the low cost or free service it offers. The potential for video conferencing between classes at different schools without the cost of having the equipment or event a phone line is very appealing. The drawback is the security and large amount of bandwidth it uses have led schools to band the use of it on their network. I think for Skype to be available to schools, it must address the security issues.
