I often wonder which year will be the year when we significantly augment our plain vanilla voice calls with video. Laptop magazine - Jan 2009 issue has some interesting stats:
1. 28% of Skype calls were video calls in 1Q 2008 (that's 1 year ago!)
2. Yankee group predicts that 11.8% of all Americans will be using Video Calling services within 3 years (and 43% of the online users)
3. At the end of 2007, there were 23m Video-chat users in the US, and this number is expected to rise to 37m in 3 years (by EOY 2010)
So it looks like people do want to see other people when they talk.. Question is, how will the business case for this evolve.. more thoughts on that later..
