associated with smooth transmissions that could result from software,
hardware or network failure. Remote connections are sometimes known to be
hampered by environmental changes. On some occasions, the absence of
technical support personnel creates difficulty for participants who are
unfamiliar with the videoconferencing technological concepts required, then a
substantial amount of expenditure must be done.

business meetings. Some meetings require a personal touch to be successful.
