Hey Derek! Well, at least one site has been added to the list. We here at the University of Moncton, Edmundston Campus, have just invested about 1 M$ (CAN) into one AG room. We're located in Edmundston, New Brunswick Canada and being a small community, far from the major cities of the world, this technology will not only help our campus to stay connected with the rest of the planet, but our entire community will be able to contact almost anyone, anywhere.
>From what I know, there are 3 working sites in the province of New Brunswick and at least 2 more are under construction. Also, in Atlantic Canada ( comprised of 4 Canadian provinces, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfounland-Labrador ), there are a number of existing sites and a few under construction. (I don't have a complete list unfortunately ) Here's an idea, would be cool to have an inventory of sites that do have the AG technology installed. That could be a good way to keep track of the numbers and certainly easier to inter-connect sites. ( although this might already exist, new to the AG world here ) Cheers! Denis M.

Hi all, I've been part of the AG community for a while now, nearly 3 years and over that time I've not seen a lot of growth in the number of sites that we interface with for AccessGrid meetings. Quite oppositely I have seen sites that were good AG participants fall into 'disrepair' through lack of funding and site expertise. A bit of a devil's advocate question, but is AccessGrid usage declining? Is AccessGrid on the way out? I've seen people turn to things such as Polycom for meetings rather than have AccessGrid meetings. I'm curious to learn of other points of view on this.
