Previously skype had a product called Skypecast that enabled many (in theory
hundreds) people to join a talk, have a moderator etc. For free.
But since September 1st 2008 it's discontinued (
http://skypecasts.skype.com/intl/en-us/).
AFAIK a regular skype voice conference call can host maximum 25 people.
The idea of having this kind of voice conf is excellent, I'd definitely join
from time to time!

only a few.
Other options are elliminate, bit that means only a few can speak at a
time, and the voice quality is limited, we we can share notes and a
whiteboard and host as many people as needed (I have tested the client on
windows, mac, and Linux and it works, just not as nice as skype).
