In the 1970s a number of telecommunication companies introduced a very interesting idea. They suggested organizing telephone meetings or conferences by telephone. The form of the conference depends on the number of people participating in the conference and where they are located. When a number of people from different locations take part, a multiple or conference call is needed. When there is a group of people in one location, they can use a loud speaking telephone or a conference telephone with headsets. The idea of telephone instead of personal meetings is very important today for multinational companies because they help save money and time. The disadvantages of such meetings are that you can neither see the participants nor demonstrate any visual materials. But you can overcome these drawbacks when you use a conference TV service. 1.
