I’m impressed with post. No guesses yet but I’ll noodle on it.

If the calls were managed, in this example, it would be easy to pinpoint the caller, and the origination point of the calls.

We are seeing serious demand for managed video conferencing. Even though some vendors have made the call set-up incredibly simple, there are plenty of firms (and executives) who don’t have the time or patience to learn. Soooooooo, there is a large market for a ‘white gloves’ managed video service.

Dave, Excellent guess, thanks for posting. Your thesis is true. If Jill had managed call capability (or perhaps caller ID) she would not have needed the police to trace the call. However, I’m driving towards another important aspect of MVaaS.

If I remember the movie correctly; the checking of the children was the lure to get the baby sitter upstairs to meet her demise.

Had the house been outfitted with a video based security system the babysitter and/or police would have been able to “check the children” remotely through a web GUI without going upstairs.

Another excellent comment. I’ll post what I was looking for this afternoon.
