Breaking The Boundaries Of Video Conferencing

This document discusses breaking down barriers to widespread adoption of videoconferencing. It identifies barriers such as physical location limitations, network quality issues, inter-organizational communication barriers, connectivity to unified communication platforms, high per-port pricing and scalability issues, and lack of temporal proximity. It proposes solutions such as additional infrastructure components, bandwidth optimization techniques, firewall traversal, standardized video clients integrated with UC, variable pricing based on system type, easy archiving and retrieval solutions, and powerful media processing with scalable video coding. The goal is to facilitate real-time video communication across organizational boundaries to enhance business processes.
