Both Tandberg and Polycom produce quality, any vendor will give you
discounts based om volume. However if you want the cheapest option possible
then your talking webcams on DSL, its not business quality but it is cheap.

Sony and Polycom are two different companies. Sony is an up and coming VC
vendor, but then they have been for years, they are currently third in the
market but probably only represent about a ten percent.

I'd recommend Polycom or Tandberg for a serious business communication
(travel replacement tool), see www.globalvc.co.uk
