Travel satirist Joe Sharkey has penned a piece about Video Conferencing that ran in the New York Times.
This type of coverage supports the theory that video conferencing is now at the mainstream level. Now, if Skype would only handle multi-party calls like SightSpeed, we’d have something really, really big.
Actually, two colleagues at Avistar, which makes desktop videoconferencing software, recently conducted videoconferences while on American Airlines and Virgin Atlantic flights, using in-flight Wi-Fi. While I don’t know if they tried it in-flight, Avistar does let users place multi-party videoconference calls.
