[backstage] Conference calls

2008-07-02 Thread Gavin Pearce
 
Good day to you lovely people  =),
 
Bit of topic I do apologise, but might be able to point me in the right
direction.
 
Conference calls, we all love to hate them.
We're a small business and sometimes find ourselves getting asked if we can
set-up a conference call.
 
We don't get asked often enough to warrant paying for a monthly
subscription, so has to be something on the fly.
 
conferencegenie.co.uk looks good, but you can't password protect a room,
which is a bit of an issue in my opinion.
If you picked the same room number as someone else, you would get very
confused!
 
Any suggestions or ideas?
 
Cheers,
- Gav

I'm not sure you'll find anything free - as I recall there were a several
incidents a few years ago where the data owners went after websites who were
putting tables and fixtures up without paying a licence fee.

But you never know.

Thank you very much Adam !  I will try to contact to FA or other premier
league Co.  lets see if I can find a free source.
 
I have been looking for a source, where I can read All football clubs and
national teams and football score information via web services.  However, I
could not find one yet.   I can use Wiki to get football players details but
I need to a free source, where I can get football scores and league table
info.  I cannot effort paying for this as the website is not commercial
website.  it is just a football discussion sites, where all friends and
football fan can have their talks.
 
regards,
 
Rafiq

I doubt you have very little chance with the BBC as i think they republished
information maintained by a third party who have very strict distribution
rules.  

Your probably better trying to talk to the FA.  Alternativly there is the
following message at the bottom of the fixture list, however its probably
very expensive to purchase the rights.

On the subject of open maps (or not so in the case of the OS), you might be
interested in this project: http://openstreetmap.org/

(the idea being to create open  free to use street map data)

 conferencegenie.co.uk looks good, but you can't password protect a room,
 which is a bit of an issue in my opinion.
 If you picked the same room number as someone else, you would get very
 confused!

For private rooms, it says it's £10+VAT one-off, not per month.
