Although Nemertes sees increased interest in desktop video, we don’t expect it to replace straight voice calls. Instead, it’s most often used to augment other video conferencing systems, enabling home or mobile workers, or those unable to get to a video conferencing room to still participate in a video session comprised primarily of room-based users. Rarely have we found companies who are making large investments in desktop video as a general purpose application.
