BBC Trust chairman scuppered by Skype

Naturally every hack+dog on the British national press is weighing in describing it as a scandal, a "breach of trust" and the rest.

So the BBC Radio 4 programme Today decided to wheel on the chairman of the BBC Trust, whatever that is, who proceeded to pontificate about restoring trust blah blah until the connection went.

John Humphreys, the interviewer, proceeded to explain that the chairman was using something called Skype. Sort of re-assuring that the BBC Trust isn't wasting licence payers' money though. The €10 worth of Skype Out hasn't run out yet. There's €4.48 left and that's a year and a month and many foreign trips later. µ
