Big River Telephone announced today that it hit an all-time high in
Teleconference Network Utilization this past weekend. The web-based
teleconferencing system, complete with on-demand features and an
interactive web interface to control conference calls, was heavily used by
the Fantasy Gaming Market.
The Big River Teleconferencing Center gives the user total control of
the conference call by means of a web-enabled interface. The moderator, or
“leader,” of the call can manage a more productive teleconference call
from his desk by simply using his own computer and a browser. All the
features and functionality are at the moderator’s fingertips and no
additional equipment or special software is needed.
“Our easy-to-use Web Based Teleconference system recorded all time
usage highs over the weekend. We expect the system to break all monthly
utilization records because of the “Fantasy Football” drafts that are
taking place,” stated Kevin Cantwell, President of Big River Telephone
Company. “Last year we saw a surge in usage but those numbers are being
dwarfed. Fantasy Football leagues like the idea of drafting players and
interacting with their league rivals in a live conversation. They also
have told us they will tape the call and make sure everyone has agreed to
any terms and conditions. The system allows for a verbal record to address
any league issues during the year”.
