Meetings.io is the latest step in the evolution of videoconferencing services, a classic example of enterprise-focused social networking, which have always held much potential but also frustrations.
Videoconference services were planned to be offered through the services of the NORTH Network, a telemedicine project based at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre with satellite videoconference suites in a number of locations across central and northern Ontario.
The research project is an exploratory case study of a new videoconference service in operation.
An existing videoconference service provider with sites across Ontario was chosen and the series was accredited.
The Zamboanga facility also has videoconferencing services for soldiers to communicate with their families.
Comsat Video Enterprises, Inc., an unregulated subsidiary, provides entertainment and videoconferencing services to hotels in the United States.
As more business people become infrequent flyers, videoconferencing equipment -- or even Web-based videoconferencing services like WebEx.com, PlaceWare.com and Centra.com -- may become increasingly attractive substitutes.
A similar service, the Glowpoint IP Video Communications Network, is to be offered next month by Wire One Technologies, a videoconferencing services company in Hillsdale, N.J.
Other televideo services, such as web-based videoconferencing services and broadband videophones, do require high speed internet access.
The other important development comes from a much smaller contender, a tiny outfit in Berkeley called SightSpeed that runs a videoconferencing service of the same name.
