Hit or miss
Being able to send someone around the world at a moment's notice, get the deal done and get them back before the workday here ends? The business world would eat this up! Not much use in places where the time difference is such that it would be the middle of the night but I could see a lot of high level business deals taking place around this tech. Average people will have no reason to want or need this but the very wealthy would fund this themselves just because they can. Being able to start your European vacation a couple hours after you finished packing? Sounds great if you're rich.
Video conferencing is used alot in these types of meetings but in every case being face to face is so much better. Maybe its just my personal feelings and not the reality of the situation but I always feel like I take away more from in person meetings than I do from conference calls. I'm not high enough up the food chain to ever use this service but would love to be able to.
