VDO Conferencing

Did you know, that you can do some really cool stuff at a WEBWORLD ?< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I went to the one in HIMAYATNAGAR yesterday.

For instance, between Xmas and New Year, you could actually talk to your loved ones anywhere in India on a state-of-the art Video Conference facility.

This is like something straight out of the STAR TREK movies !

You are actually face to face with the person on a big plasma screen, in the privacy of a nice carpeted and sound-proofed room.

The prices are so down to earth, I did one with my relatives in Vizag yesterday for only Rs 375 !!

For those of you who are technically inclined, these are the specifications :

Current coverage 150 locations across India

Multi-party, multi-point enabled with speeds as high as 768 Kbps.

Near broadcast quality audio and video experience

Seamless interoperability with any standards based ISDN ( H.320 ) end point anywhere in the world.

Currently it is being used extensively for huge reductions in travelling costs by company executives, meeting distant relatives, new product launches and training.

In-fact, for those of you who watch the serial Jassi Jaisa... there is a current promotion, where you can interact with her on VC, and tell her what you think she should do regarding Armaan. ( Forgive or not...! )

For those of you interested, you call call Rakesh in Hyderabad on 9391343747 for more details.
