locations via telecommunication systems. It facilitates discussions among
persons in different locations without their physical presence at the venue of
the meeting. The word teleconference is a contraction of words telephone and
conference. Computers and internet have given new meaning to it. Video
conference and web conference etc are new milestones in this sphere of communication.

meeting, even at a shorter notice. It saves cost and problems of physical
travel. It saves time. Conferences can be convened at a shorter notice.
In teleconferencing, a participant may leave at will and
find out what he missed when he comes back. Summaries are instantly available.
