A brief history of video conferencing. Part 2: From commercial premium service to “pocket” technology

The origin and development of video conferencing as we know it today occurred in the 20th century, the era of bold experiments in communications that were not always successful. The extremely high cost and the vague prospect of using video conferencing technologies posed major challenges to its advancement. It was only towards the late 1980s, when PCs and the Internet transitioned from novelty to commonplace, that video conferencing began to flourish, entering a period often referred to as its "golden age" that continues to the present time.
