Re: [rtcweb] Use Case draft

["Ravindran, Parthasarathi" <[e-mail]>]

Tim,

My experience is different. Click-to-call is attractive in case of toll-free number in the site. WebRTC provides complete free call without any toll.

The registered users should not mandated as it is not generically applicable for all sites. In case of  camera selling site wherein the anonymous customer wish to get the details about the product wherein the sites will not mandate for registration before calling the shop as today, these sites provide their phone number for the customer to contact without any identity.  I really don't know why some identity MUST be mandated  for calling those WebRTC sites. The customer support folks will get the relevant information during the course of the call :)

Having [e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]> as a identity is not going to much helpful in these sites whereas captcha will confirm the caller as a human.

Thanks
Partha

My experience of this (with phonefromhere.com<http://phonefromhere.com>) is that there is very limited demand for
pure click-to-call in the browser. Users don't see any benefit.

The benefit comes if the call in tied into the rest of the web session, so full anonymity
isn't desirable in this case.
The best results come when the call center is also using similar in-browser technology
and the session can be properly shared.

So while this use-case has some merit, it shouldn't be seen as critical.

Tim.

The consumer call center shall support "anonymous" calling wherein there is no need of specific identity mechanism for the caller.

I agree that the corporate call center use case is important.
