Why use the "Skype" branding? Why not call them simply "video feed seats"?

People know what Skype is. It's almost generic, like referring to tissues as Kleenex.

Does this mean Skype won the video conf battle already?

His statement suggests they lost a trademark war.

Or like calling all of GNU/Linux "bash"

(yes Microsoft, that's you)

The White House Press Briefing, brought to you by Skype and McDonalds!

Every day brings us closer to the Corporate Congress from the Continuum series. ;).

Or the 29th amendment from Incorporated.

Basically, imagine a show that takes place in the dystopian future of Continuum.

Somehow I missed that show. Thanks, adding to my to-watch-while-eating-supper list :).
