Growing the market

Not sure if any of you watch CNBC (I'm a financial news junkie myself), but it was interesting to see them interviewing someone in the videoconferencing market! I am just amazed at how little press VTC gets in the general world.

We all know and have said for years the same things: VTC can speed up business processes and can help with topline growth of companies; VTC can help considerably with bottom line expenses by reducing travel; and VTC is a green technology that reduces energy usage and lowers Co2 emmissions. But, why, in these times of "recession" and a focus on greener technologies don't we see this more often.

For VTC to grow, the other 99% of the world population needs to learn about it and embrace it.

So, who was on CNBC??? Bob Haggery from Polycom. You can watch it here:

Of course, I'm proud that the CEO of the company I work for was the one trying to grow this industry. I sure hope that other VTC company CEOs will get on their soap boxes and do the same. Although I believe and want Polycom to earn the right as number #1 supplier... above and beyond that I really want the whole indsustry to grow.
