Skype + World Cup 2010
Football is always a reason to talk. Especially, if this is the World Championship, when all fans become fans, not just avid fans. I want to discuss each goal, about every decision of the judge - to argue, with each victory - to congratulate my friends. Skype likes to help people communicate. We are sure that you yourself will figure out how to use Skype during the championship, but for now we have come up with this.
1. Starting from June 11, Skype is playing among its users a month of free calls to phone numbers in the countries participating in the World Cup. The first 100,000 people who subscribe to calls to one of the countries participating in the World Cup will receive an additional month of calls for free.
2. In South Africa itself, Skype will lower prices for Internet access via Wi-Fi when it is paid via Skype Access. Instead of the usual € 0.14 per minute, the cost will be € 0.05 per minute in all Wi-Fi hot spots included in the Skype Access network in South Africa.

3. At the 5 main airports, through which fans will fly to South Africa (London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore, Sydney), special Skype scouts will work to help people install Skype on their mobile phones and tell how to use Skype in trip to save on calls home.
4. Finally, for the most dedicated football fans, Skype will launch an interactive competition on its Facebook page - they will be offered to compete with the world champion in freestyle football John Farnworth in juggling the ball.
And if we talk about what others are doing, the Eurosport channel’s new Soccer City Live program invites its viewers to discuss the events of the day at the World Championships with experts in the studio. By Skype.
