What’s on the top of your “cellular carrier wishlist”? For some, faster speeds. Others — coverage. If I mentioned cross-carrier video calling, how would you shuffle around your list to include it? For many subjects, the whole video calling thing would probably sit pretty low. For the lucky Canadians up north however, video calling appears to be a pretty big sought after feature — at least to the telcos anyway.
With join collaboration between Bell, Rogers, and Telus, video calling will now be easier than ever not only to persons on the same network as you, but on the other two networks mentioned as well.
I personally can’t say I’d be too excited. I absolutely hate talking on the phone. Adding video to it would probably be even more annoying. Though I can see certain instances where it would be helpful and warranted (long job trips away from significant other/kids, etc.) I’m but a single human walking across the earth. Canadians: Are you excited?
