AT&T and Cisco Team Up on TelePresence Service

AT&T says it is incorporating TelePresence with its own IP-network and VPN capabilities to create a teleconferencing service that will target such industries as healthcare, high-tech, retail and government. TelePresence, which debuted in October 2006, includes a 65-inch plasma display panel, as well as surround-sound audio, that delivers life-size, high-definition (1080-pixel) videoconferences between businesses. AT&T says customers can choose from the TelePresence 3000 package, which includes three display panels and costs US$249,000; and the TelePresence 1000, which has one display panel and costs $59,000.
