Northborough MA, Jan 22, 2008 – Brockmann and Company, the market insight company released its latest report entitled Video Conferencing Around the World 2008. The report is available for free download for a limited time on http://www.brockmann.com.
Peter Brockmann, President of Brockmann and Company said, "The adoption of video conferencing products and services is not uniform throughout the world.
