Are video phones really becoming a reality?

Turn Your Computer Into a Video Phone

Video conferencing is no longer simply for fancy corporations with over-budgeted board rooms. With broadband internet connectivity and a cheap computer video camera anyone in the world can now communicate online. No special video conferencing services or internet video conferencing software is needed. Microsoft offers NetMeeting for free, and many other organizations offer other means to video conference over the net, including WebEx and SightSpeed. For under $100 you can setup your computer to be a video phone to keep in touch with family and friend. Just as email has replaced snail mail, video conferencing is starting to replace telephones, so grab a camera and reach out and see someone!
