Free
Conference Call Meetings - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

a profit and you can't make a profit if you don't sell anything. This leads us to the bad: your free conference
call may not be as free as you think.

Conference Call Services - Are You Treating Them as a Commodity?
A commodity is generally considered an item or service that has the same value regardless of quality.
For example, gold is considered a commodity because an ounce of gold is an ounce of gold regardless of who is selling
it. On the other hand, a gold necklace or gold watch is not a commodity because quality varies depending on craftsmanship
and artistry. When it comes to conference call services, quality also varies from one provider to the next.

How
to Make a Low Cost Conference Call
A couple of different low cost conference call strategies exist: active conference calling management
or an unlimited conference call plan. If you make occasional calls, taking a more active role in the call's planning
can lead to lower costs. On the other hand, if you hold regular conference calls, an unlimited conference call
service may be the better choice.

International Business Collaboration Conference Calls
International conference calls and business collaboration can take several forms including traditional audio-only
conference calls as well as Web conferencing and video conferencing. Which type of teleconference is the right
type? It depends on your calling and collaboration needs at the time. Each call type has its own characteristics
and is well suited for specific purposes. Rather than relying on a single type of conference call, you may want
to use a blend of conferencing technologies and select the right call type for each specific scenario.

Global Collaboration with Conference Calls and Video Web Conferencing
AT&T has rolled out its Telepresence Solution, a compelling new way to communicate domestically as well as
internationally. Available in 75 countries, AT&T takes international conference calls and transforms them into
vivid, life-size teleconferences. While this technology allows for an "in person" meeting experience
via complex video conferencing systems and HD television sets, it's not necessarily the end of international conference
calling as we now know it. In fact, global collaboration and virtual meetings using existing technologies have
been occurring for many years.
