#12Great, but any company big enough to be in the market for this should probably not be using Hangouts to hold meetings in.

The contents of the hangout exist unencrypted in Google's data centres, which are of unclear jurisdiction, so the meetings are not suitable for any sort of confidential information.

It says 15.
We've only hit this limit with very large all-hands meetings or presentations that lots of people also want to dial into. We often have a separate view-only stream for those cases.

Then I think that would be better explained as saying "meetings with particularly sensitive information." The size of the company would not dictate that policy.

#17If this is comparable to the Chromecast in terms of ease of use and simplicity while still being able to be a functional product with the features companies need, I could see this being very popular.
I love how simple the Chromecast is, it allows everybody to work it with no hassle. I hope this product also accomplishes that goal.

#18I don't get why this is so expensive. What's the $250 a year get me?
I'm used to Chromeboxes costing about $300, and web cams cost about $100 for an awesome one. So, $400 makes sense to me...?

The competition for this product (Cisco, Magor, etc) can easily run into 6 figures. Think of it as Google charging $500 for the software & configuration in addition to the $250/year. Would you rather they made their money by showing ads during your conference?

The $250/year is for support and maintenance.
