There can be value in simplicity. Years ago I worked for a company that had to do a monthly teleconference with its largest client. The setup and hardware required was expensive and the experience wasn't even that great. It's a testament to how fast technology moves when now anyone with a computer can teleconference.

That's exactly our feeling. I've seen the Cisco/Polycom systems, and they look great, but they're also a lot more expensive, and for what we (and many other startups) need, the value isn't there.

So just say you use Skype with a big screen TV. I opened the link expecting to see how you replicated Cisco/Polycom telepresence using off the shelf products at a fraction of the cost (Which is possible btw)
