SkypeShare for lower phone bills

You probably know you can make very cheap phone calls with Skype to landlines. Under a monthly subscription of about $12 you can make unlimited calls to more than 40 countries.

SkypeShare is a cheating concept. Share the password to one account with a few others and make unlimited calls driving down the monthly subscription cost even further. To prevent abuse, Skype's fair use policy actually limits 'unlimited use' to 10,000 minutes per month with a maximum of 6 hours per day but still, the restrictions can allow for plenty of time to be shared among a few friends.

Sharing the account could also work with prepaid plans and calls to mobile phones which are more expensive. The idea is nothing new or extraordinary, one account with a shared password to split the monthly subscription bill among a few people. Simple as that!

Skype is currently free for a PC to PC call. What if a PC to a fixed line call was also made free and the cost of the calls was paid by ads?

Maybe it could work on a use-per-ad model, where the user makes a free call up to the amount collected for Skype 3.0 through the user clicking and viewing online ads.
