Skype to go ++ (Well it is a question that ties up...

Question

Hello there!
  Greetings! I have been a skype user for over half a decade now (Feb 2005 ),
I have some questions, and hope some of you can help me. Let me begin by explaining
my situation.
I plan to have the following services:
1. Unlimited US & Canada.
2. US incoming number.
3. Unlimited India.
Unpaid:
4. 9 Skype to Go numbers + 1 Universal Call and Transfer old fashion number
5. 4 registered phones
Question 1:
I understand that I am limited by the fair usage policy -
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/legal/terms/fair_usage/
I know that it is pretty old (~2009), and does not include details on India.
The policy states: 10,000 min/month , max 360 min/day
But the Tricky part is this : "If your subscription includes more than one country,
then this is the total amount of minutes allowed per month on your account, and is
not a separate limit for each country."
Does this mean:
1. US+Canada and India : 10,000 min/month , max 360 min/day
or
2. US+Canada = 10,000 min/month , max 360 min/day and India = 10,000 min/month , max 360 min/day.
Here US+Canada is a multiple country sub and the cap is on both of them put together.
Which of my interpretations is correct?
Question 2:
I understand that Skype expects these plans to be used by a single individual.
I am not sure if this can be loosely interpreted as a single family. I am starting my
family now, and obviously I am interested in seeing if my spouse can use my subscription.
So that brings us to the second part of the Questions:
1. Can both my spouse and I use use my account to make calls, provided we stay under the limits?
This might include, occasionally, calling from two registered phones through skype-to-go to two International numbers
(Canada + India) or long distance US simultaneously. I think it is reasonable to expect that if we together keep
the calls to under 6 hrs/day and 10000 min/month and the 50 unique number limit, we should be considered as respecting the skype TAC.
Is this a valid interpretation?
2. Is there a restriction on the area-codes of the phone numbers being registered (managed phones for
pin-less skype to go)? We come from two different area codes, and would like to keep it that way.  
Should the answers to the above questions be favorable, a perfect system would be the Connect-me adapter at home
serving as the landline, with our office and mobile phones serving as extensions to our skype subscriptions.
Thanks and looking forward!

Answer 1

Hi LonNW1, Thanks much for the response. I see that you are staff on the site, probably a staff at Skype too? Anyway, I am guessing in your response, 
>> 1. Hence, if you have 10K mins for the US/CA plan, and 10K mins for the India plan. 
The if is misplaced, and it should read "Hence, you have 10K min...."
That sounds good.
I think due to the length of my question, one of the details got lost, so let me repeat it here,
If my spouse and I were to accidentally call two different numbers using our STG setup simultaneously, i.e.. I initialize a call using STG to say STGN01 which calls Ind01 and my 
spouse initializes a call to STGN05 which Calls Ind04, will skype see that as a breach of contract? I.e.. Does skype place restrictions only on minutes or does it place restrictions on number of simultaneous calls?
I know much of the wording in the TAC is to prevent people from using these "flexible" plans toward running commercial calling services, and users are expected to follow the honor system - only single person (personal) use. I am afraid any amount of coordination can still leave place for unexpected calls using STG at the same time, and I wouldn't want to be penalized for that.
Thanks!
