New Service To Transform Mobile Phones, PCs Into Videophones
As NTT DoCoMo desperately tries to convince more people that 3G phones are worth the money, they're working on a system that would let people videoconference from PCs to 3G phones. This would certainly open up the possibilities beyond typical phone-to-phone video conferencing that most people usually talk about. While I'm not sure if this will find a huge market, either, it's at least a step in the right direction.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
