I am a member of BizSpark and I think people can rest assured that
there are no surprises or catches to worry about. The whole point of
the program is pretty simple, because with new startups the lure of

It might be helpful to the group to take a look at this from the Microsoft

Okay, I have read the contract. I have one more additional concern:
The "Points service" and "Bing Cashback" sounds like a great way for
Microsoft to get you to do things beneficial to Microsoft. At the very

Do you still need to have a BizSpark partner sponsor you? The last time I
looked I found one partner that was charging $500 for a sponsorship package.

Just a quick side note on Skype. Be aware that there is a limit to the
number of people in the conference.

Mike, these days there are a huge amount of providers doing
international conferencing via VOIP. I've used a few and it came down
to trial and error. The challenge is the call quality for the partner
in the US or Europe. Here calls were often clear but overseas they had
problems.
If you use VOIP
if you don't mind starting the cal.l from voip you can use skype.
we use it quite a bit both with computer to computer calls and to
outside lines.
quality is still a bit hit and miss, but at free to 2cents a min it's
hard to beat for internal discussions

good question. am really interested too. am still using overseas conf

They charge AUD 0,15$ per minute per user but obviously one need to
