Thanks!
I know that Skype is usually blocked. I wouldn’t count on the bandwith being real fast, so even if you’re able to connect, it might be slow or choppy.

In earlier days, say 2003-2004, I played online poker, and even used Skype video on a Korean Air flight transpac. Hit a huge deadzone a bit over halfway to ICN. Don’t forget you might annoy your neighbors, too.
