I came a cross this article and thought i would share it because it is an alternative to (Skype) a free source of video conferencing!
NEW YORK (AP) - Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu said Thursday Cisco's new home videoconferencing product is "much better" than free services like Skype with a webcam, but its high price will likely limit widespread adoption.
Cisco Systems Inc. said the product, umi, will cost $599 plus $25 per month. It includes a camera and TV set-top box that are controlled by a remote control.
THE OPINION: "We believe there is a market for premium video conferencing, but it will likely be a high-end niche," Wu wrote in a note to investors.
But with a lower price or the elimination or at least the lowering of the monthly fee, "we see great potential to reach the broader mainstream market," he said, adding that many people would likely consider using this over a voice-only phone call.
THE STOCK: Shares of the San Jose, Calif.-based networking equipment maker climbed 3 cents to $22.33 in midday trading.

I think utilization of video conferencing depend on type of work. Thank you for sharing of resources.
ReplyDeleteI think there should be a home videoconference which we buy and can use with the landline cost without any more monthly payment.
ReplyDeleteIf it's more reliable and offers more voice and video clarity than Skype, it might appeal to the professional market. My experience with Skype has been good but it's not always reliable. Too much traffic can yield slow video and garbled audio. Thanks for sharing Joe.
ReplyDeleteRatana, I think you are correct video conferencing depends on your type of work and what you need it for.
ReplyDeleteOrnisa, I think that is a a great idea, I will research and see if there is something out there already.
