Revolutionary Service Delivers Quality Videocalls Over Broadband Internet At Very Low Cost.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) September 20, 2004 -- VidMe Communications LLC, a privately-held technology firm, today launches VidMe, a broadband videocalling service that delivers dramatic improvement in face-to-face communications to users across the globe. VidMe makes connecting to friends, relatives, business associates and customers via live two-way videocalls as easy as sending email. VidMe calls are remarkably clear in both sound and video. The firms advanced technologies have overcome the issues that made previous Internet videoconferencing products jerky, garbled and prone to delays between video and sound. VidMe is roughly twice as secure as most bank networks, it automatically negotiates firewalls, and it is easy to download, install and use. Users need only a broadband connection, an inexpensive webcam and a reasonably fast computer to take advantage of VidMes real-time face-to-face calling. Consumer packages start at $6.95 per month per user for unlimited global calling. Business packages featuring unlimited calling and a robust package of advanced, easy-to-use collaboration tools are priced at $21.95 per month. Service can be purchased at www.vidme.com.

VidMe intends to reach many new markets that previously were deterred by cumbersome hardware, special network requirements, poor quality videoconferencing products and expensive operating costs. VidMe is a stunning product," says David Gust, Founder and President of VidMe. The ability to see each other in this level of quality changes the dynamics of communication at a fundamental level. Our ability to deliver unlimited voice and video as well as powerful business collaboration tools at prices well below competing voice-only services significantly impacts the value equation for consumers and businesses evaluating their communications options."

VidMe opens a world of face-to-face communications that has been foretold in science fiction for quite some time. It allows emotionally connected consumers to be together more often without breaking the bank. Grandparents can see distant grandchildren as often as theyd like; traveling spouses can see the family from the road, college students can see siblings, parents, friends and pets (surprisingly important); and hearing impaired individuals can sign and read lips.

It allows business managers and colleagues an efficiency of communication and an ability to be present in more places each day that cannot be delivered by voice alone. We call this ‘Anywhere Teamwork," says Amalie Ash, Marketing Principal for VidMe. Studies indicate the average domestic business trip costs $915.00. VidMe videoconferencing and collaboration tools can eliminate trips, but more importantly they expand your budget. Your staff works together as if they had an unlimited travel budget." In addition to videoconferencing, the VidMe Professional package includes large file transfers (up to 250 megabytes per file), real-time concurrent media streaming, and real-time application sharing for team collaboration and presentations (also perfect for help desk operations). All of this is provided for $21.95 per user per month, or roughly 25% less than leading VOIP services which offer audio conversations alone.

Best of all it is easy and inexpensive to deploy. The Jetsons would smile.
