Cloud based video conferencing is going to kick the worlds ass in a BIG way….this press release is proof, and this is…

  • IOCOM Releases Visimeet Statistics

    Update July 2023: Consider this a HISTORY lesson in videoconferencing. Enjoy! I love stats!

    Evaluating Cloud Based Video Conferencing Services

    OK….I am getting ready to evaluate several cloud based video conferencing services.
