*Please note that TCO comparison is between current live content delivery options available in the
market. Other web based streaming and conferencing solutions either do not support full screen
video or require very high bandwidth at participant end which render them unfeasible for current
infrastructure of developing countries. So ignoring them while considering total cost of ownership.
*Please note that Work-At-Home not possible for the other two models. So, for the sake of
comparison the setup and upgrade is assumed for 30 centers.
*Common items like Projectors/ LCDs/ Computers not considered.
