Green Planet Episode 11: Telepresence & Virtualisation

Travel is often cited as one of the most costly expenses for corporates and organisations. But it is costly for the environment too, with around 40% of travel-related carbon emissions coming from business-related trips. The use of high-quality telepresence can vastly reduce the need for physical travel, with one US study projecting that changes enabled by broadband networks could save the equivelant of 11% of US oil imports through transportation substition or "virtualisation".
