Subject: Video conference vs a Webcam

romeobanglore: hello

julietscity: Hi

julietscity: Sylvia asked me for information about the webcam ... I just searched for this information from the Kimo website and sent it to her ... and then sent her my response ...

julietscity: Remember we discussed these devices by meeting each other or showing their bodies to people on the Internet

julietscity: It's not that expensive ... and Sylvia needs a webcam to see her mother ... and it only pays for local calls ... cheaper than international calls

julietscity: WHERE ARE YOU!!!!

romeobanglore: hello

julietscity: YES! I greeted you a few minutes ago!

romeobanglore: there was a server shut down here...

romeobanglore: now it's ok

romeobanglore: yes...maybe there it's ok...but in Inia, the internet connection is very slow

julietscity: Sylvia and Javi also need a webcam when traveling on business and importing lamps from China to Valencia

julietscity: India has many good software engineers ... but no one wants to stand up to reforms against government systems and make progress for their people

julietscity: Indians are not good!

romeobanglore: do you know how much the camera cost?

romeobanglore: hmmm... the telecom sector is still not up to the mark

romeobanglore: hahaha...we write software for those who give us money

romeobanglore: America and Europe give us money...India doesn't

romeobanglore: so we write for the US and Europe

julietscity: around 100USD, some are only 500 USD

julietscity: you can go to some websites and search "webcam" then you will see any information about it

romeobanglore: are you sure that they are so cheap?

julietscity: why ask?

romeobanglore: I don't know anything about webcams

julietscity: Would you like me to buy them and export them to India for sales like Anshu or Sylvia's business?

romeobanglore: as far as I know, it should be costly because there is a lot of processing to do...

julietscity: NetMeeting ... using a webcam to hold a meeting

romeobanglore: nononon

romeobanglore: Export to India need license

julietscity: nonono... All you need is a webcam and a server both plugged into a computer

romeobanglore: and in India because the connection is slow, people may not buy it now

romeobanglore: but Americans are investing heavily in our Telecom sector...so in a few years things will improve

romeobanglore: It seems webcam is cheaper than a camera!

romeobanglore: my camera costs 300USD

julietscity: the US sees India as a profit market ... why are they still not looking for you to work in the US as a way to force your government to make progress in your telecommunications sector?

romeobanglore: they are trying...but the Indian government doesn't want to give their telecom sector to America

julietscity: I'm talking about a simple camera ... the price of a webcam is the same as the cheap camera here ...

romeobanglore: because the US can control the whole Indian telecom

romeobanglore: I know it is good and bad

romeobanglore: still...a simple camera is a simple device...you know webcams needs a lot more things to make the picture to transmit

julietscity: are there no wealthy Indians or large local companies investing in your telecommunications industry in India to force the government to change

romeobanglore: please give me 5 minutes...

romeobanglore: one colleague wants a group photo...

romeobanglore: 5 minutes

romeobanglore: ok

julietscity: ok

romeobanglore: ok...I a back

julietscity: do you know ADSL or broadband? As you said ... it's very popular here, cheaper and faster than before... so... I think... adding a webcam can go beyond geographical restrictions and make it easy for people to see each other ... I told you that the lady took off her bra and showed people her breasts with this device, right?

julietscity: one day, you can also easily see your parents through your webcam

romeobanglore: so far most Indians tend to invest abroad

romeobanglore: yes, I have seen how webcams work

romeobanglore: and we use it for our meetings with our German colleagues

julietscity: now everyone can have a webcam ... if they don't require high quality or privacy

romeobanglore: Video conference

romeobanglore: but we have our own satellite link and ISDN lines, so it is fast

romeobanglore: with normal connection, it is almost impossible

julietscity: ahh...yes...Video conference... It's been 5 years ... now the new word is "webcam"

romeobanglore: you know our group is going to be closed

romeobanglore: what's the difference between these two?

julietscity: YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS!!

romeobanglore: I came to know today

romeobanglore: there is a meeting at 2 o'clock...they will announce it there

julietscity: Video conferences seem to use cumbersome and expensive equipment, but the webcam ... is just a simple camera and a server... just like a modem...

julietscity: after 30 minutes, do you have to go there to hear the news?

romeobanglore: Video conference equipment costs very much...so why should a webcam cost less? that's my doubt

romeobanglore: 15 minutes

julietscity: When is it ended? why? You told me that your department is a necessary business item for your company ... why is this department's business so easily closed?

romeobanglore: because so many people are leaving the company now and right now there is no work for us

julietscity: ok...You can search for some webcam sites and see why ... I only knew the price an hour ago.

romeobanglore: I don't know how our German colleagues will react

romeobanglore: I think they still will keep some persons for the German work

julietscity: Your department will close ... Devesh? He just got married. Will he retire?

romeobanglore: NO...we all will have to go to new groups

julietscity: and when do you have to join a new team? When must team members leave?

julietscity: That's why your project manager proposed to you to work in a new R & D company in the US

romeobanglore: I don't know...we don't have to leave the company...we will have to work in some other groups

julietscity: hmmm...

julietscity: Do you send your resume to some European companies?

julietscity: I know it

romeobanglore: I don't know what are our options...it will come clear in today's meeting

julietscity: ok... It's time for you to leave for the meeting ...

romeobanglore: ok...will you open the computer after 1 hour?

julietscity: are you sure the meeting is only one hour?

julietscity: No one is home now ... all the children go shopping with their parents ...

romeobanglore: I will send you an mail after I come back

julietscity: Yes... I will be here in an hour ... I need to know the progress of the meeting

romeobanglore: ok...bye then

romeobanglore: mmmma

julietscity: Ok...bye now...

julietscity: and see you later...

julietscity: welcome back

romeobanglore: yes...thanks

julietscity: how's the news?

romeobanglore: we don't have to change Telecom field

julietscity: I don't understand?

julietscity: you all are in the telecom field...

romeobanglore: we can continue to work in Telecom, but not for only Germany, we have some new customers from the US

julietscity: More details ... For example ... Which group might you be in and when should you end the current group?

romeobanglore: no need to go to any group, we will work as a separate group

julietscity: When does new work begin? I mean working for a US business or any new project? Is there any difference from now?

romeobanglore: still those things are not completely clear...in 3 months they say

julietscity: I don't like waiting for 3 months! Now everything will change in 3 months

julietscity: So this conference is not so special and can provide you with any news, right?

romeobanglore: let us see... things will become clear in a month's time...next week they will make some proposals...

julietscity: I'm sleepy at all the boring news

romeobanglore: this was to announce that we have to choose a field in telecom and work to build experience in it...that's all

romeobanglore: it's boring to you...but not for me...

romeobanglore: because it is my job!

julietscity: yes...
