Visitors to the Meet Estonia stand (F270) at this year’s IMEX fair can be among the first in the world to try out Skype Station, an ultramodern communication booth that lets users make free video calls via the Internet, reports the Estonian Convention Bureau. Developed by the Estonian company AdTech, the stylishly-designed station not only works as a phone booth for the digital age, it has the capability of doubling as an eye-catching conference communication device and an online shopping portal. Skype Station is the latest innovation to come out of E-Estonia, the country that gave birth to the Skype VoIP service and leads Europe in the availability of free Wi-Fi - an asset that has made this novel, affordable travel destination all the more attractive to event organizers. The tenth anniversary edition of IME in Frankfurt is set to open its doors for three days on May 22.
