Tata Communications' Telepresence, the service that connects business-to-business using Telepresence rooms, is currently running a Times Square Promotion. The Times Square Promotion will take place from January 1st to January 31st, 2011, offering customers and businesses 50% off if they book meetings with the code: "Times Square." This promotion applies to rooms booked up until April of 2011, but only if they are booked within the month of January, 2011.

Along with this promotion, Tata Communications will have a billboard in Times Square, where they encourage fans of telepresence to send pictures via Twitter with the hashtag #TPpromo, or telling them: How telepresence has made or can make a business successful in the global playing field?

Presently, Telepresence conveniently allows companies to connect and collaborate in high-definition. This is a great alternative to business travel, allowing for greater flexibility, productivity and long distance collaboration, especially during a travel freeze. Rooms are becoming increasingly more available for those interested in using telepresence. Presently there are 29 live public telepresence rooms in 16 countries.
