In the television business, no one stays in one location for very long. Its hard and takes weeks to schedule any kind of conference to get business taken care of or discussed. This is why I am very thankful for conference calls. It can be scheduled last minute, and as long as you know how to get contact with the other members of your party, you can have a conference call at any time of the day, with as many people as you need, from as many locations as you need!!! Even overseas!!
Its more than convenient!! Its a revolution!!!
