Desktop Video Conferencing – Will it Take Hold This Time?
Date: Thursday, June 18, 2009
Time: 1:00 PM
Speaker:
Mike Sonnier
Distinguished Systems Engineer - Cisco
The “Picturephone” concept from the 1960s never caught on, but desktop video technologies have quietly gained a foothold in the corporate arena. As public networks transform from traditional PSTN “telephone networks” into Next Generation multimedia networks, advanced video and collaboration technologies are beginning to span beyond corporate boundaries for cross organizational collaboration. With the growing ubiquity of broadband services into residential environments and continued technical advancements, personal video collaboration in residential environments could become mainstream in the not too distant future. Join USTelecom and Cisco on Thursday June 18th, at 1PM ET to learn about the existing “state of the art” technologies enabling desktop video, discuss opportunities for carriers in bringing video collaboration into the public network environment, and discuss possible future opportunities and challenges to the industry as adoption increases.
