Windstream offers SMB audio and web conferencing
Joining the club for hosted SMB services, Windstream is now offering flat-rate web and audio conferencing for small and medium business customers. Bundled pricing is a flat $35 per month, says the company.
Windstream is pitching the services as "ideal products" to reduce or eliminate travel costs. Audio conferencing features up to 5 simultaneous participants, toll-free access, dial out to add conference attendees, operator assistance, and web based conference controls.
The web conferencing package is fully integrated with the audio conferencing call controls, includes group instant messaging, application and desktop sharing, built-in support for live webcam video conferencing, an integrated PowerPoint viewer, and a mechanism for handout distribution.
With over a million broadband subscribers within its territory and a net income drop last quarter, Windstream could use a quick revenue shot in the arm with some hosted service offerings for its existing customer base.

That is a GREAT post on conferencing, which is really gaining speed in the market. I can recommend a great conferencing guide for newbees to use when figuring out how to get started. The “Quick Start Guide for Web Conferencingâ€, which I got on Amazon.com, got me up and running in about 25 minutes:
http://www.amazon.com/Web-Conferencing-Quick-Start-Guide/dp/1448649781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250795732&sr=8-1
I read that the www.webconferencingcouncil.com had a non-technical relative of equipped with a a Dell E6400 with Windows XP, complete with built-in camera & microphone test this book to see if it was truly a quick start. This relative was able to start a multi-point meeting in 17 minutes, was able to share her desktop and present an online presentation (Microsoft PowerPoint) in under 25 minutes, and even started using the voting and whiteboarding features within 30 minutes - all of it witnessed but uncoached. I was a little bit faster but I am more technical than most.
