[tei-council] meeting technologies

[Susan Schreibman]

On the other hand, it is very expensive for people phoning from outside 
the US for an hour and a half -- that seems to be the real problem. The 
people from Oxford can conference call each other in and then just have 
one international line to the US, which really does save quite a bit.

I'm wondering if there is any way left to reduce the costs somehow to 
others phoning from abroad.
