GetThere plans to provide to customers access to Tata Communications' network of Telepresence rooms

. Part of GetThere's set of " collaboration" services, the deal would enable GetThere customers to reserve one of Tata's public or private Telepresence locations at a "pay-per-use hourly rate." Tata's network currently includes 15 public rooms throughout Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, India and North America. The company expects to expand that number to "over 30" by year-end. GetThere and Tata said pilot testing would begin "shortly, with plans for a broader rollout later in 2010."
