Lots of people talk about the benefits of using video links to avoid the need for travel. In the main there is a fair degree of scepticism about the usefulness or otherwise of this technology, for example, 'it's expensive, the picture is poor and one needs a degree in rocket science to get the kit working!'

For the Â鶹ԼÅÄ move to MediaCityUK in Salford we're working on the theme 'Salford - it's not as far away as you might think.' A key element of this is embracing video conferencing.

To help us get started we have installed 'the Tube', a permanent video link between the Manchester and London based project team. We have allocated two meeting rooms that work as a pair, enabling team members to drop in at any time to connect up. It's simple, requires no technical support and provides a richer form of interaction.

A sign of things to come.
