Google Beam expands to six countries, adds Industrious flexible-workspace network

Google is shipping Google Beam units to customers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, and Japan, supported by 18 channel partners, with HP Dimension with Google Beam as the flagship hardware.

Starting in October, users can book Beam at select Industrious locations in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and Palo Alto, and an internal eight-week Google study reported 50% more connection and 21% fewer follow-up meetings.
