Growth in teleconferencing: Looking beyond the rhetoric of readiness

Robert Johansen, Kathleen J. Hansell and David Green

Telecommunications Policy, 1981, vol. 5, issue 4, 289-295

Abstract: The authors, addressing the question of why teleconferencing has not yet been implemented on the scale envisaged in the early 1970s, outline readiness factors and enabling forces relevant to teleconferencing growth. They argue that the optimistic demand forecasts were based on the assumption that the readiness factors would rapidly evolved into enabling forces. However, enabling forces are only beginning to emerge and the authors describe how these new forces could prompt the use of teleconferencing on a large scale.
