Hutchison expands videotalk to PC
Customers of Hutchison's 3 network are now able to make video calls to a computer anywhere in the world. The move will appeal to 3 customers who find that the people they wish to make video calls with are not on the 3 network, the company said.
Customers of Hutchison's 3 network are now able to make video calls to a computer anywhere in the world.
The move will appeal to 3 customers who find that the people they wish to make video calls with are not on the 3 network, the company said. Due to a handset shortage Hutchison had fewer 3G customers than it had hoped for at the end of 2004. Customers will also be able to make video calls to countries where 3 does not yet have a network.
The service, Videotalk to PC, is built on the video gateway system supplied by Ericsson. People receiving the call will need to register their e-mail address with Hutchison, and will need a computer connected directly to the Internet - a firewall will interfere with the call. They will also require Windows 98, XP or 2000.
