About

When:

December 10, 2002.  Time to be determined, and stretched to include both European and Asian time zones.

Where:

Simultaneously everywhere on Earth where someone chooses to participate, has good Internet connectivity, and good H.323 video conferencing equipment.

What:

Speakers from all over the Earth will describe their real-world applications of H.323 video conferencing, using H.323 video conferencing to do so.

The audience will consist of two portions:

1.       People from around the world, participating via H.323 videoconferencing.

2.       People from around the world, watching the live stream.

A system of distributed H.323 multipoint control units, located around the world, will be cascaded together to create the most cutting edge Internet videoconference.

You are encouraged to participate in Megaconference IV, by doing this:

Register to participate as part of the interactive audience. (Those who will watch only the streaming video should NOT register.)

Tests and rehearsals will be scheduled. A final cutoff date will be established. Continuing discussions and development of Megaconference IV will be on the megacon email list, and not on the other lists to which this announcement is going. If you do not subscribe to that list, but wish to do so, just send me email telling me briefly who you are and what you do etc.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
