Video is cool but I really do not see it taking any real piece of the 
telephony market.  I see it more as a novelty item. 

Corporations are using more and more email and instant messaging for 
communications.  On one hand, I think most people would like to see the 
person they are talking to but on the other, they probably don't care to 
be seen themselves. 

I could see very young people being attracted to video but I certainly 
wouldn't go so far as to say "the next generation of telephony will be 
visual driven"
