Disinterest is kind: there was no love here for Skype, or Niklas. The MC dragged weak, scattered applause before and after his talk. The five hundred people tried not to squirm when Niklas wrote off "standards" (i.e. SIP) standing in the way of innovation and entrepreneurship. A third of his audience walked out during the Q&A, heading to lunch.
