Can't recall a single time when I've seen people using video chat.

morbo Complete Your Transaction join:2002-01-22 00000	reply to openbox9 Yes. Smartphones with front facing cameras and 4G allow for nice quality video chat. Much easier than turning on a computer and sitting in one spot for 20 minutes.

Linklist Premium join:2002-03-03 Longport, NJ kudos:5	reply to cool_coda said by cool_coda: Seriously... it is a niche market for non-work related situations. Why pay extra for Facetime over and above the data traffic fees. If you have to video chat you can use Skype or other products for free. And why MIGHT AT&T or Verizon want to charge an extra fee when they can make plenty of money on users of Facetime going over their caps and then paying big overage fees. -- »www.mittromney.com/s/repeal-and-···bamacare »www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care

openbox9 Premium join:2004-01-26 japan kudos:2	reply to morbo Yea, I much prefer a 4" screen over my 24" monitor to do a lot of things...especially video chatting. Turning on a computer? And do you actually walk around while video chatting for 20 minutes? My point is, I believe that Facetime use likely occupies a fairly small percentage of iPhone users' time.

ISurfTooMuch join:2007-04-23 Tuscaloosa, AL	reply to Linklist You're assuming they won't start blocking other video chat applications. Carriers in a number of countries do just that. As for why they'd want to charge vs. allowing people to exceed their caps, you're assuming that using Facetime after paying said fee won't still count against data. I'm not so sure. About the only way I could see this being close to fair is if people had a choice: pay a small fee for unlimited Facetime, or don't pay a fee and have it count against data usage.

morbo Complete Your Transaction join:2002-01-22 00000	reply to openbox9 You asked who is using a smartphone for video chat (Facetime, Skype, other), and clearly there are many people doing it -- not just high school of college kids. Those numbers are increasing as the network speeds increase and there are more phones with cameras that can handle it. The advantage of using a mobile camera is that you can point the feed to another person, child, animal, or project wherever you have a signal. You know the advantages of having a mobile phone or even a cordless home phone? Those are some of the same advantages of mobile video chat. Whether or not you prefer to have an immobile video chat in front of your computer instead of a smartphone is another conversation.

Do that many people really video chat with their mobile devices? Quite often. I have neices and nephews in other states and it's a great way to say hi to them. I videoconference with friends in TX as well. My parents live in another state so we video chat from time to time. In a time of emails and texts it's nice to be able to have a "real" conversation. -- "So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."

openbox9 Premium join:2004-01-26 japan kudos:2	reply to morbo So, some people video chat on a mobile device. I don't video chat on my computer, so maybe that's why I don't understand the allure of Facetime and other video chat apps.
