Skype off the edge? Climbing tall peaks? This link puts Skype to use in extreme conditions, innovatively connecting an expedition and later leaving nothing behind. Neat!

We started using SKYPE shortly after the launch back in 2003. Soon after, we began to toy with the idea of pairing SKYPE with another sensation of 2003; the RBGAN satellite modem.

The cheap and fast RBGAN was number one on a Himalayan expedition tech toy wish list last year. A data modem only unit, it lacked the possibility for voice calls - it's only drawback.......... Human Edge Tech
