During the news announcement with Skype and Facebook, Skype CEO Tony Bates (person left above) said that Skype users are using around 300 million minutes per month making video calls. He also said that 50 percent of Skype’s traffic is video calls, which puts video calls even Steven with plain VoIP calls. Now that’s impressive! Though a bit surprising. I would still think some Skype users prefer voice only – especially if in pajamas or something. That, or could be on a PC/laptop/mobile phone without video capabilities.
