3G Video calls are starting
So what's happening with 3rd generation mobile ? Using CDMA20001xEV-D0 and WCDMA/UMTS mobile broadband, commercial networks are providing service 30 million paying subscribers. One of the killer applications is mobile video, particularly mobile TV to access streamed content - some analysts forecast 250 million subscribers by 2008. At the 3GSM congress, my colleagues at HP demonstrated video messaging and video contact centers on live 3G networks, this generated a lot of attention, including from those of us who burned their fingers on previous hot technologies. Are we going to see the growth of personal video communications ?
