摘要

"Are we there yet?" The familiar child's pleading, which comes up during most road trips, is apropos for the land of videoconferencing. As the cliche goes, people have been waiting for videoconferencing to "get here" since the 1964 World's Fair, where AT&T demonstrated the first videophone. Despite the annual predictions that this is the year, videoconferencing, IP-based video in particular, is growing steadily A recent survey of more than 600 videoconferencing users by Wainhouse Research shows almost 14% of respondents doing all their conferencing over IP today Over the next 24 months, that number is expected to double to about 28%. The number of respondents with some form of IP videoconferencing deployed is almost 60%.
