Ashlee Simpson does high tech?
Great article over at FastCompany about high quality video conferencing. My favorite part is this quote:
The question is: how on earth are we still dealing with the awful sound quality of telephones, well into the age of ubiquitous internet, hybrid cars and Coke Zero?
Good question indeed. It used to be that the holy grail of VoIP was to meet landline telephone voice quality. Most were happy just to achieve cell phone voice quality. And now folks are demanding even more? Well, they should. Wideband audio codecs plus ubiquitous connectivity means you should get good quality audio just about everywhere. It's what we believe in.... and you should too :-) Have you heard the audio quality in Office Communicator or RoundTable? Let me know what you think about where we are at and where we could improve.
