The great thing about using Skype is the free part, well not really. Take into account that you need to buy a laptop $$, and then you're usually on the hook for a high speed network connection $$ ... and you've got Skype for free?
ok, the difference comes down to the video and audio quality. There are some amazing products developed by 4 main players, Tandberg, Polycom, LifeSize and Sony. Each has their own niche, Tandberg is all around high-end, Polycom is versatile from small to large, LifeSize is the affordable version and Sony makes great cameras.
so, why do the execs spend lots of $$ on Vidcon, it's easy, ROI (return on investment). Let's say that you send a couple of managers across the world in a plane, rent a car, hotel etc. Your $100,000.00 boardroom can pay for itself very quickly.
The reason then why the better Vidcon systems are purchased is the high quality image and sound (and bandwidth) that comes with it. Managers want to feel like they are meeting face-to-face. Attending these meetings is like being there - it's amazing!
