I think Skype was the first app that would allow to talk for free across the globe even on poor (modem) connections.

Not even close. Just off the top of my head, Roger Wilco is 5 years older, and TeamSpeak is also older than Skype.

In terms of mass adoption, with regard to Skype, is what I imagine he meant. Anyway, it was certainly true for me. I had to make a lot of calls to less developed parts of the world then, and it worked reasonably well.
