I read this fluff piece and wonder if the US ever knew that we’ve had video calling ever since the first 3G handsets came out. Video calling, despite the widespread availability of 3G handsets with it enabled, has never been a success story (although I’m a fairly regular user ever since we’ve had kids, thanks to a dirt cheap Nokia). It bears noting that I worked on H.320 videoconference gear way back since 1994, and that the bandwidth usage for standard 3G video calls using H.324m is, if I recall correctly, 64Kbps - which runs inside a circuit-switched connection, not packet data, so you need MCUs or other kind of gateways to talk to a PC over IP.
