In a way of a conclusion to this thread I eventually got through to the right person at Adobe UK (they didn't return my call so I had to keep phoning them). The Acrobat Connect (Breeze) pay-as-you-go service is being trialled in the US and won't be available in the UK until the summer. But Adobe do provide hosted solutions for the UK if you pay for an annual contract and go via one of their resellers (they only recommended ONE!). The price is just over £1200 for unlimited use with up to 5 or 10 participants (can't remember how many). Adobe really undersell this service - it's a better kept secret than CF!
I'm currently using a free 15 day trial and it's really slick. So much better than Microsoft LiveMeeting which BT have been trying to sell me. Not sure if I can justify the price, I'd rather do pay-as-you-go. I will be checking out an unlaunched new Powwownow service in 10 days. If anyone wants to know what it's like feel free to email me. Thanks for everyone's input, appreciated. Cheers, Gary F. On 2/8/07, Gary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
