TRANSATLANTIC VIDEO LINK

0 Information technology and modern telecommunications really do bridge of the

00 distance between centers of commerce and the British countryside, according

41 to inventors Phil and Pam Richardson. They faced with a 5,000 mile round trip

42 from their home in Wales to America for to seal a contract with the US Surgical

43 Corporation, being one of the country’s top medical appliance companies.

44 The logistics of the trip were very much difficult. They needed to talk to several

45 top executives with an impossibly busy schedules, who were based in three

46 different cities. Then they heard about a new state-of-the-art Telematic Center,

47 just 10 miles from their home. So instead of crossing to the Atlantic Ocean, they

48 traveled just 20 miles and spent a modest sum on an hour-long transatlantic

49 video conference. It saved days of traveling and enormous expense. The end

50 result was also more better as they were able to get all of the executives

together in their lunch hours to sort out the problem.
