Communiqué Conferencing Adds Live Streaming Webcast Service

Reston, VA - March 16, 2009 - When companies are hosting an audio, Web or video event, webcasting or streaming gives them an easy, cost-effective way to reach anyone around the world with Internet access. This is why Communiqué, the World Leader in Conferencing, has launched a new partnership to enhance its offering of streaming services to their customers.
