The Jeff Pulver Blog: Just had my first Skype Call at 35,000 feet!

Just had my first Skype Call at 35,000 feet!

Since I was online, my friend Stu Milberg (s2ball) saw my blog and sent me an email, offering to meet me on Skype.

Turns out that Skype works quite well on SAS Net, flying at 35,000 feet, over the Atlantic Ocean, even with 600 ms of delay!

While Stu reported that I sounded a bit choppy, he sounded as if he is sitting right next to me.

I was so impressed with the quality of the connection that I passed my PC across the isle to: Jonathan, Marni and Carl to say hi! to Stu and check out the quality. Some of the other passengers on the flight must have thought it was kind strange to see me lifting my PC to face level and then talking into it…

Now that I know for myself that Skype works well on Connexion, I can only imagine it will be just a short time until we see Wi-Fi VoIP devices with Skype embedded on them that will be used by the road warriors on future Wi-Fi enable flights.

Boy do we live in interesting times!

Looks like I'm scheduled to arrive in Stockholm in 4 hours, 48 minutes.

Below is the sunset I just saw looking out to the West:

Time to get some rest…

Being in service to those around us is an important aspect of entrepreneurship, and a complement to the passion and belief necessary for success. Actually, it's not a bad habit for all parts of our lives. :-).

Hi,

I have been using pulver for some time, is great links in well with my router configuration. However I would love to have this on my Ipaq hx4700 is there a software version available? I can not find one & do not want to move away from pulver…..

Any positive response is greatly appreciated.

Jeff,

I was just telling Stu that I had a conversation with business associate half way between Seoul and Frankfurt using an iPAQ (connected via Lufhtansa). Compared to the old airphones we used to have (when they worked), it was a much more enjoyable experience. Again, some people must of thought it was pretty strange for me to be talking into my PDA....

After someone at apple try this with an iChat A/V conference I'm sure audio will also work just fine :-)

Cool stuff, Jeff!
Mind if I repost this to My Linkedin Power Forum?
Or feel free to stop by and post it directly. We're a friendly group of just over 1,000 Linkedin users discussing all things Linkedin. Occasionally, we also discuss tools that could help us link better to each other.
We have had some recent articles about Skype and this could be good fodder for more dialogue about its benefits.
Let me know, ok?
Thanks, Jeff!
