Now that internet on planes is a reality, videoconferencing is only a half-step behind. Seriously.
And if Cisco’s CEO has anything to say about it, that will come much sooner than later. (Hey people, what? You thought you deserved a few minutes break from work on the plane?!? Think again, fools.)
According to ComputerWorld:
“I want to be on a plane and have TelePresence in front of me,” quipped Thomas Bittman, one of the Gartner analysts who interviewed Chambers onstage here.
“Well, the answer is, you are probably going to,” said Chambers, who predicted that the arrival of Wi-Fi services and other types of Internet connections on planes will enable travelers to hook up devices to the Web — potentially moving in-flight Internet access well beyond mere entertainment options. Chambers said he sees such capabilities becoming available within 18 months or so.
