Folks,
Having Internet connections while flying on a plane is way cool! Makes me wonder if video chats would be possible? Hope so, but this article did not say anything about video conference, though. Talks about having access to Internet while flying.
Not free, though.

Folks,
You have heard lot of media news that USA is lagging far behind rest of the world for fastest broadband speeds. Well this article is sorta a reality check and assess the circumstances realistically. Turns out that we’re not too bad after all.
Biggest reason why we’re "behind" is simply we’re big country. Most of Europe countries are densly packed.
Click to this and be proud of being an American after all…

This is an old news according to a friend I video chatted with, but maybe the completion of the product is not so far in the future now?
VRS industry now has four mobile VPs that I know of: Purple’s MVP, two from CSDVRS’s Z-340 and PC-100, and Viable’s VPAD+. This one is cell phone and it uses H.264 that uses an open source program.
Of course, many of you probably already know that laptops with built-in web cameras can do VP and VRS as well.
Let me know what you think? Would you purchase something like that? Cell Phone/Pager with video conference capacity? Should I put it to a vote?

Interesting article which seems to re-affirm the trend we’re seeing in the VRS industry. In the beginning, it was enough that deaf/hoh just get the "device"; that is, video phone. Not any more. Over the years, the trend is now we look at the quality of service and features of the Video Phone. It seems that now most of the video phones, the video quality are all good – at least most of them so service (interpreting and support service) and features (video mail, call waiting, missing call list, etc) are now sought after and compared.
Also, in that article it mentioned 3-D as the next wave of future; Golly, can u imagine VRS using 3-D monitors and seeing Video Interpreters and friends or relatives in 3-D image? 3-D on a monitor will give the impression that the person is in the monitor instead at the studio.
