Hello,
I've only just come across this video- really interesting, so thank you for uploading it! I am researching the location at which this was filmed. Does anyone have any more information on where this was shown and what it was made for?

Little wonder that Skype is a UK product. And it's a damn good one!

Buying a house for $5,250?

I've watched this loads of time. It's so odd. That first guy is blatantly calling a prostitute. That's why he's calling from a phone box, when everybody else in the video is using their home/work phones. And also why she's bored, and sitting around in her underwear.
It's bizarre that the Australian guy mishears the English caller. On something demonstrating how modern/clear/great the new system is?
It even ends on an unhappy note. No house for you two.
Miss Johnson has lovely legs, mind.

Wow, tremendous foresight there. Amazing how many predictions they got right: - international video calls - pagers - answering machines - facsimiles - online bank statements - online stock prices - online mortgage calculators (!) - working from home
Thankfully the user interface is a bit more friendly than that oddly shaped terminal :)
