A company wants to hold a live, face-to-face style discussion between its Mumbai head office and branch managers in Chennai and Delhi without anyone travelling. Which internet tool is best suited for this purpose?
Video conferencing is best because it lets participants in different cities see and hear each other in real time over the internet, enabling a live discussion without travel. Newsletters, circulars and notice boards are one-way, non-interactive media and cannot support such a live meeting.

Explanation
Video conferencing allows real-time audio and visual interaction between participants at different locations over the internet. Printed newsletters, postal circulars and notice boards are one-way and not real-time, so they cannot replace a live discussion.
