I was just commenting on the suggestion to only accept calls/messages from known people, via the Privacy settings, which wouldn't work in a business setting when many unknown/new people might be trying to contact the business.

In your example, Skype obviously works fine, especially since there aren't many alternatives. Off shore oil rigs are an exception, not exactly the same as a land based business with many choices.

I wondered about this to I am on Skype every night for several hours with a group of Ham Radio friends. I have my account configured so the only people I see are the ones on my contact list, is this so hard.
Shouldn't you be using your radios? ;)
They are all online worrying about BPL messing up their ham radios instead of actually using their ham radios. ;)

I'm assuming that wouldn't work in a business setting (the articles indicate businesses use Skype? :o ). How do you put legitimate people on a contact list when you haven't spoken to them yet?
I have several friends online that work for major oil companies and they use skype to talk to off shore oil rigs because there are no cellphone towers in the area. All they have is satellite internet, so it makes it very convinent.

The main issue with skype and this so called "spam" is the fact that everyone can see everyone else by DEFAULT when you install and use the application. Image if that was the case with AIM or MSN messenger? Getting random calls / messages would be flooding with ppl trying to sell viagra and other stupid scam or marketing stuff.

Skype is a WONDERFUL service, and I am aware that some ppl bash it but for me and my household it is ALL WE HAVE. Connection is solid, service is solid, and the price can't be beat.

60 bucks a YEAR for all incoming and outgoing phonecalls to anywhere in the USA / Canada / etc. I get my own voicemail, I can answer my HOUSE PHONE from my laptop or anywhere I am at at any time etc.

They have alot of great services, and for the price you can't complain. If you are too dumb to use it right, or feel you are being short changed consider the fact that you are paying next to nothing for a service. I'm surprised they are doing as well as they are for being bought out by Ebay.

Is it really THAT hard to disable crap that you don't know? Show anon status online, and only let friends in that are friends?

Seriously ppl are just DUMB, I'm not surprised they haven't been taking more advantage of.
Of course, you can't use this option if you use Skype to run a small business out of your home. Incoming calls from strangers can't be blocked. But any business using Skype as their phone tool is making a big mistake.
