CNN has a video story today showing Cisco's Umi 1080P hi-def videoconferencing application that sits on your TV.
(this CNN link might expire, since there is no permalink on the video)
Cost:$600, plus $25 per month
Uses: HDMI in/out
Needs: 3.5 mbps bandwidth (seems low for hidef, but the NBN will mean everyone can use it, including satellite and wireless...)
Needs: unlimited Gbs (sigh.... I am on 4Gb per month... student...)
This could be a killer app for the NBN, if the price was right. I think this price is too high, but if it got down to Apple TV price ($129) and $10 per month, there could be a stampede....

This might also be a good way to demo the speed of the NBN. Cisco has demonstration centres around the US: New York, Boston, Dallas, Chicago. Might be fun to have in the city malls where people can interact between cities eg Melb vs Syd, Bris vs Perth, Adel vs Darwin, Newc vs Geel.... just for fun....
Meet Umi
Video on Youtube... too HD to even fit on a blog....(sigh)...

I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if
all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you
did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Post writing is also a excitement, if you be acquainted with then you
can write if not it is complex to write.

Right here is the right blog for anyone who hopes to understand
this topic. You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa).
You definitely put a new spin on a subject that's been discussed for many years.
Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!

Fantastic job!
