Free Public iKiosk VoIP Phones
Ginny Granger writes about a network of free public VoIP phones called iKiosks in Aberdeen, Scotland. The iKiosks offer free email, videomail, internet access, and free VoIP phone calls. Calls are based on software similar to Skype. Robert Gordon University is one of the first iKiosk sites.
This is a marked contrast to SJSU (San Jose State University) in California (and other universities) where they had planned to ban the use of Skype on campus but later reversed their decision. Maybe something like iKiosk would be more to the university's liking? Free public phohes is a radical idea. In Australia and other places, public VoIP pay phones are being rolled out.
