First ‘Skype booth’ opens at Estonian airport as company reaches 30 million simultaneous users

Phone booths are old hat , we all know that much evidently. But Skype booths? Tallinn Airport in Estonia’s capital has become the 1st site to host a dedicated Skype station, which lets you video chat along with your friends or call them on their phones using Skype credit, exactly as you would possibly do to your computer at home.

The premise’s being put into action by three Estonian companies, all of whom are quite happy to remind us Skype originated of their fine Northern European nation, and the plan is to roll the futuristic-looking booths out to other airports, hotels, shopping malls, hospitals, and so on. Meanwhile, Skype usage keeps growing and the corporate recently recorded 30 million simultaneous users online, breaking its previous record by a trivial three million extra souls.
