Skype statistics shows 700 mln min free talks daily

Skype’s The Big Blog posted some numbers about the daily statistics of Skype usage.

The statistics shows 700 million minutes of free Skype-to-Skype calls each day. To put it in perspective, 700 million is the equivalent of going around the earth 28,000 times in one day, if each minute represents a mile. Or 17,400 times if each minute is a kilometer.

According to figures posted, 42% of Skype-to-Skype calls include videos, equaling to 300 million minutes each day.

The Blog posted other interesting numbers too: 65 million people sign into Skype every day and there are 30 million Skype calls to mobile and landlines each day.
