VTEL announces videoconferencing ASP-like intentions, forges reseller relationship for the PictureTel 900, cuts 30% of their workforce, yet remains committed to enhance Galaxy.

Our views are in a special edition of our Bulletin. What do you make of it all?

I'm glad to see VTel embrace the new system on the block instead of fight it. I've used their product and they would've lost.
I think VTel has hit upon an opportunity and to their credit it looks like they'll give it a run. There is so much more the 900 series can do and knowing PictureTel, it won't happen unless other shops get involved. I have not actually put my hands on a 970 yet but can see that more products that utilize projector technology instead of the "big monitor" on a cart need to be developed. Also, speach recognition coupled with a better remote should be a priority with this product. Hopefully VTel will address these and other innovative uses for this box.
