Webinar Recap: Desktop Video Conferencing June 18th, 2009
Tom Soroka

Over 50 years ago, the first video phone prototype was developed and subsequently demonstrated at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Since that time, the concept has witnessed tremendous advances in technology, but not quite the same advances with user adoption.

Today, USTelecom and Cisco held a webinar titled “Desktop Video Conferencing: Will It Take Hold This Time?” With the Internet offering global connectivity and high speed broadband service becoming more accessible, Cisco showed us how video conferencing is now moving from the board room to the desktop, and is poised for much greater acceptance in the marketplace. Mike Sonnier, Distinguished Systems Engineer from Cisco, pointed out that the widely deployed Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) along with advances in broadband network technologies are paving the way for video conferencing to reach not only more businesses, but eventually into our homes.

If you’d like to view the archived version of this webinar, it is now available on-demand.
