"This is a one-time only call - it is broadcasting real-time language translation to a set of conference participants. An estimated 400-600 participants will need to call in for broadcast only. The duration of the call is anticipated to be 30-45 minutes. The call is planned for a Saturday morning - whether or not the call-in number is a 1-800 is not as relevant as the best rates. Thank you."
