Market traction

Yes, I think you are almost entirely right. Deals like the Marriott one will undoubtedly get the technology out in front of more people and on a much more affordable basis. Partnership approaches like this make a lot of commercial sense for the vendors, and it will be helpful for mobile workers too. I also agree that the quality of Telepresence (as the latest evolution of videoconferencing technology) is very high. I don't expect it's unbeatable though. As with all new products, expect there to be further technical enhancements. Interoperability is key, too.
