Real Businesses on SightSpeed

"No telephone connection can substitute for face-to-face communication, but when a crisis is breaking there’s often no time to meet, even if you’re in the same town. With SightSpeed, my clients and I can swap voice and image with excellent clarity, and they can even project my face onto any viewing surface if they have other people in the room, like their crisis response team."

- Jonathon Bernstein, Crisis Management, August 2007
