that was one of the few things old big telco did 'well', spent a few tens of million on VC then banned all travel below C level. utilisation was very high but people were still useless at it

in a three-person conference call led by my director. he interrupts it cuz he keeps getting a call from sone number. full on, on the bridge, no muting, he's chatting with some guy who found his diving gear from the vacation down to somewhere in south america he had over the holiday. been going for nearly 10 minutes now. god bless you, Lance of American Airlines. edit- weird cuz he flew Delta. but it was like 5k of gear so i kinda understand the importance.

in my last job it was felt expensive to have actual speakerphones in the meeting rooms, there were sfb setups, but if you needed an actual phone the official line was that you'd pair your cell with a bluetooth thing. bluetooth as usual was horrible to deal with. end result: when actual customers with actual teleconferencing setups wanted to meet the head office called in first, and we called head office on sfb and lived with a speaker-microphone air gap across the country before it got to the client wherever

my company keeps putting in nice wireless presentation systems like wepresent and now Apple tvs in all the conference rooms but they've never quite figured out all the way that nobody who comes in to do a presentation can use them because they're all field sales guys for spring companies who have locked down windows laptops. so every time there's a whole song and dance about unplugging poo poo trying to find a cable. every time

our marketing person wants us to set up a shared document somewhere, and grant read/write access to everyone, and let them block off time that they can schedule for this meeting room at a conference somewhere. so i told her to just use outlook and i made a room for her and showed her how free/busy works and after like an hour i think she's just going to make an excel spreadsheet and manage it herself
