A blast from the past... Date: 4 Jan 1982 10:40:27-PST From: cbosgd!mark at Berkeley Subject: picturephone service Funny, but our TV news stations just made the announcement a couple weeks ago that Ohio Bell is NOW OFFERING this picturephone meeting service in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinatti, and I got the impression that it's been available in some of the more major cities already. I certainly did not get the impression that it was pending FCC approval. By the way, I was one of the guinea pigs when BTL was developing this. It was pretty neat! The only weird thing is that there is a delay of about .75 seconds between when you say/do something and when the guy at the other end hears/sees it, due to satelite delays and processing. This means it will be 1.5 seconds between the time you do something and when you see the response. Since you are otherwise under the impression that you are meeting face to face with the person, it feels a little weird not to get instant response to a facial inflection or interruption. hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu
