How many conference rooms (in total) are estimated to be in corporations across
the country today?  I need this info as part of a market research
study.  I need some sort of backup on the answer--either from a
magazine, website, industry source, etc.  Thanks!

According to Newport International Group throughout the United States
alone over 7 million conference rooms exist.

There were an estimated three to five million conference rooms in 1999.

?Roughly 10% of the three to five million conference rooms in the U.S.
have audioconference equipment, says analyst Stone. If half of those
added video capabilities, the videoconferencing industry would double.
And that's not a lot to ask. Analyst John Todd of C.E. Unterberg,
Towbin, forecasts 30% annual growth in videoconferencing between now
and 2004.?

?Whether the dramatic changes promised by 2004 increase
videoconferencing riddle remains to be seen. Byrd concedes that
videoconferences now take place in less than 1 per cent of the world's
55 million conference rooms and 360 million business PCs.?
