Actually, this is news on desktop videoconferencing and a "infomercial" for IDC. While videoconferencing over an intranet could be a valuable offering provided by FNTN, does anyone have any idea on the setup/applications that FNTN plans for this area (and the necessary equipment?). For me, desktop videoconferencing is more a "fun" application for individuals than a business tool. Larger videoconferencing units which have the ability to include an entire conference room, press event, etc. are more useful for businesses, and could be very cost effective provided over an intranet.

All...FYI.......Interesting intro to e-commerce report. I do not have a copy of the report nor am I advertising Multex. This is another good indicator for the magnitude and seriousness of the general business area FNTN is playing in.
