The outfit I work for had a Cisco video conferencing suite set up in a board room back in the early naughties. It had it's own dedicated high bandwidth internet link and worked pretty sweetly, the downside being it cost mega $$$ to buy and maintain and you could only talk to sites which had links of sufficient bandwidth to carry the feed. The fact I can now video conference in high definition on my mobile phone over the cellular network astounds me and would not have been possible back in the days of GPRS/GSM/CDMA. Yes the times are a changin indeed...
