Hi Bill,

To get video conferencing that is not choppy is not really a possibility....
Using web technology.

If you want first rate video and sound you want a two way satellite link.

The best video conferencing is fair to middlin at best.

Subject: OT: Video Conferencing in Phoenix?

Hello group!

We have a short term, and short notice, need for a video conference 
between a few people here in Phoenix and someone in Dallas. This doesn't 
need to be world-class quality, but it does have to be better quality 
than we're likely to get with any of the consumer web cam setups. This 
will be evaluating a potential sales presentation, so choppy video and 
even slightly out of sync sound just won't cut it, no matter HOW good 
the regular web cam stuff is.  :)   This would be something where we 
would expect to travel to a room provided at their location, not 
something brought in to our building.

Does anyone have any experience with local firms that offer video 
conferencing?  Any recommendations, places to avoid, etc?  dexonline.com 
lists quite a few companies in Phoenix that offer it, and we're working 
our way through that list now, but I'm wondering if anyone here has had 
good or bad results with any local companies.
