Disembodied encounters

Abstract

Commercial transatlantic teleconferencing is here at last. With the new British Telecom International service to Canada, announced on 7 February, it is now possible to sit, if not quite in the comfort of one's own home, at least in a handsome studio at the foot of the Euston Tower, to hold a full scale, eyeball to eyeball business meeting with colleagues several thousand miles away. This will be a considerable relief to those whose appetite for jet setting has been jaded by crowded red‐eye specials which never quite live up to airline promises.
