Earlier this week, Poylcom CEO Andy Miller triumphantly bragged:

"A mid-sized enterprise will spend up to $2.1M less in the first year on a typical Polycom Telepresence deployment including - equipment, bandwidth, services and maintenance costs - versus a comparable Cisco Telepresence deployment. We are excited to deliver the first end-to-end solution supporting H.264 High Profile, which will help our customers lower network bandwidth costs and cost-effectively expand their deployments."
