large companies are
just as sensitive to meeting costs as small companies or individuals. The
whole
idea of tiered prices is based on a massive misunderstanding of the way
companies
manage expenses.
In fact, large corporations can be *more* sensitive to meeting costs,
because they have better accounting processes in place. In London, I
heard that IBM had a travel freeze; only a very few people had been able
to get approval to come. My employer at the time, eCal, had sent me as a
matter of course, just because it was what we always did. One month
later, eCal announced it was going out of business.
