Notes to Editors:

(i) First there was teleconferencing, then video conferencing and now
there is telepresence. Telepresence means that intimate, intuitive and
effective interactions are occurring over great distances, without the need
for physical travel. This is achieved by using state of the art audio and
video technology, which allows conversations to take place in real time. The
meeting experience is transparent, intimate and effective -- enabling
colleagues to read verbal and non-verbal cues, sense the true tone of the
meeting and feel each other's presence across the table.

Marketing & Product Management. Bob has over 20 years experience in marketing

responsible for marketing and product management of Broadband Service

leadership, Breakaway Solutions was ranked as the industry's second largest
