Thanks Luca for vidtel info and update and to Scott for the follow up comment. I hope the vidtel business model and company follow their current path and avoid the mess encountered by lots of people in the NY (USA) area from Windcurrents Comm..v2vip. The only good thing about Windycurrents is the Grandstream. We switched to Packet 8 after one month of pure pain with the windycurrent solution. ---- Luca, please post options for the US market if possible and to Scott, keep up the good work and let the community know if you have US plans. I live in the same area as the WindyCurrents videophone company so I hope this post can remain anonymous.

Our company, Wind Currents Communications, Inc. (WCCI) has been offering V2VIP™ Voice-and-Video Internet Phone service combined with the Grandstream videophone since 2007 (Does that make WCCI the first?). It's a simple plug-n-dial, pure play videophone service that offers a variety of affordable video calling plans that include unlimited, world wide video calls with VoIP capability as an option.
Currently, V2VIP™ service is used in residential and professional applications for in-network video calls; for some customers, VoIP calling is not a priority.

Hi Luca,

It was nice meeting you at PlugNPlay and thanks for the write up. We do indeed have something more up our sleeve to compete with the "VoIP" service providers that look at video as just another codec.

One comment on the prevalence of broadband connections. Of the US internet users, nearly 90% of them have broadband today (60% of US households have internet access). So most of the people will might target already have broadband (at least over 150 million people so we don't worry about those without internet access.

And yes it makes perfect sense that some people would want to use their PC for video while others might want to use a phone. Stay tuned for more on that and stay in touch!
