"NEW YORK - Skype, eBay Inc.'s Internet telephone subsidiary, is extending its reach with "Skypecasts" — free audio conferences for up to 100 participants.
Skype is used mainly for person-to-person calling but also has a conferencing feature for up to 10 people, who can all speak at the same time. A Skypecast, however, will be moderated by a host who controls when someone can speak.
The service launches Wednesday in an "early preview" form, said Skype's vice president of global marketing, Saul Klein.
Users will be able to find Skypecasts on the Skype Web site, where all the conferences will be listed publicly."
