Ahmed,
I will try to contribute to the new thread with articles as I find them. I believe that PCTL is in an incredible position to take advantage of Voice and Video collaboration re its strong historic position in F-1000 video conferencing as well as its very strong relationship now with Intel. As access bandwidth like ADSL, SDSL and cable modems allows for $50 - 300/ month connection costs vs. current ISDN BRI and PRI costs of from $150 - $2000/ month, the opportunity to do high quality video collaboration will finally become a reality. Also H.323 IP based conferencing can be used as an adjunct to investments in corporate LANs, Internets, VPN's and intranets vs. the historic investments that were made in H.320 video conferencing systems that were dedicated ISDN lines for video conferencing that might be used only a few hours per day or week.
I would be interested in the experiences that people on this thread have had with video conferencing. What has been holding back widespread deployment? Is it: equipment cost, access line costs, quality, reliability, lack of ease of use, poor marketing?
