Okay, this is not a paid post or anything, but I really do feel excited at the prospect of being able to attend a ‘face-to-face’ meeting with long-distance customers, partners, or vendors.

The new PTCL TelePresence service will create an environment where you can feel the person sitting right in front of you using high definition audio and video!

I came across this news post in the Business Recorder today and felt like sharing it here:
