One free minute

By Jaanus on June 26, 2005 in Skype around the world.

[An interesting use of Skype and SkypeIn to broadcast anonymous calls to public audiences.](http://www.onefreeminute.net/) Kind of like Internetized version of [Hyde Park Speakers' Corner](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speakers%27_Corner). The operator of the service (artist?) says he's looking for some help with further customizing and developing the service -- if you can provide a hand, contact him directly -- Skype Name one.free.minute.

One Free Minute is a mobile sculpture designed to allow for instances of anonymous public speech. When you call the cellphone inside One Free Minute, you get connected for exactly a minute to a 200 watt amplifier and speaker. The speech produced by the speaker can be heard clearly more than 150 feet away from the sculpture.

An interesting use of Skype wonder how many people will actually use it?

hi
how are u of evry body

That is pretty cool. Daniel if you need advice/comments help with getting that running via pure Skype, I can probably help.

And also let me be the first to say Happy Birthday Jaanus.

Hope you have a good one.

I have something to say
in my One Free Minute

It's one of the basic principles of freedom, hear what others have to say and say what you want so others will hear it.

Be aware of the impression of democracy that One Free Minute can easily give to anyone using it.

Saying what you want is one thing. Even more important and necessary is to do things and at this point, the creator of One Free Minute, has done something very useful for all of us who want and have something to say.
Let’s hope that he’ll be an inspiration for the rest of us.

Hi,

I run a wireless ISP and am an avid supporter of Skype to our customers. If this guy needs help with providing a link to his sculpture we may be able to advise / help

wow! This is cool! If only i knew the number...

The idea is interesting, though the line is not yet clear to me (where is that speaker located? deep in the dark woods of Siberia or freezing north of Sweden?

In general terms I think that the Skype system is a superb means of communication and I give you my full support. I have also urged all my friends, colleagues etc to sign up for this up to date means of making calls to anywhere.

A very satisfied customer.
