The writing of this article seems a bit 'choppy'.
Teleconferencing systems with a 'communal' screen and camera do not make much sense to me nowadays.

Most employees have at least 2 devices with built-in cameras and a screen that can be utilized for videoconferencing.

Give everybody a headset. Done.

If that is true than it is no better than the US healthcare system.

Too much opacity in these markets, from the worker's side.
This is an excellent observation about white-labeling.

That would be less than a $100 million per year operating expendeture.

There are many 'identifiers', but commonly, at least, a long-living cookie that ties your browser session to ads, tracking, etc.

More granular targeting, especially for portable devices that will change WAN IP.

Best of luck with your wifi deployments.

In all seriousness, I had an interesting dealing with triplebyte regarding an internal job posting.

Took an assesment, was sent a message of acceptance, followed shortly by a rejection.

Felt 'weird'.
