Tommy: Hello! I'm glad you stopped by.
Tommy: I'm trying to learn about Procom, the new protected communications infrastructure.
Sally: That's great!
Sally: If you like calling or texting friends and colleagues then you'll be quite interested.
Tommy: Why is that?
Sally: Procom is designed to put control of your communications back in your own hands.
Sally: The applications are portable so they run on any device you like.
Sally: Procom is open source, so you can expect better security and less restrictions on how you and your partners call and text.
Tommy: You mean that if a friend uses Android but I have a different phone, that we can still use the same application?
Sally: Indeed! You can both install the same one or use your favorite applications even if they're different.
Audience: Aahhh!
Sally: Many companies make it difficult for you to communicate, just so that they can lock you into their closed networks.
Sally: Such applications may be available across a few platforms...
Sally: but they neglect your freedom and security.
Sally: In some cases they block your calls from family members using standard technology.
Sally: In other cases the service restricts or manipulates you.
Sally: In fact, that's how many companies make their money.
Sally: By convincing you to use so called free software
Sally: and then helping themselves to personal data from you and your calling partners.
Audience: Booo!
Tommy: That's too bad!
Tommy: Now I know why I couldn't send a message using Skype to my boss who uses WhatsApp.
Tommy: Aren't there any call or text applications that work better than that?
Sally: There are some good applications, but most fail to adopt open web technology as well as letting you be your own host.
Sally: Applications using Procom can either work with a service provider...
Sally: of your choice, or connect to your own network if you know how to host it yourself.
Sally: And best of all Procom is built right from the start with WebRTC.
Tommy: What?! What is WebRTC?
Sally: WebRTC is a new Internet technology that will revolutionize...
Sally: communications just like the World Wide Web did with our web browsing.
Sound Effect: Gong bell rings.
Tommy: Thanks for informing me about Procom.
Tommy: I'll look for applications using Procom in my favorite software store or market.
Tommy: Like the Firefox Marketplace or the 5Apps project.
Sally: And don't forget:
Sally: You're free to download the source code as well.
Sally: If that's not the best defense against surveillance, then I don't know what is!
