AT&T has announced the nationwide launch of AT&T Video Share in nearly 160 markets. Video Share is the first-ever service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video over their wireless phones while on a voice call.

AT&T Video Share enables one-way live streaming-video feeds that can be seen by both parties while they are participating in a two-way voice conversation. Once the parties have initiated a Video Share call, either one can be the one generating the video stream for the other to see.

Video Share works exclusively over the AT&T 3G wireless network and is the first AT&T application to use the company’s emerging Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) platform. This new platform will be used to deliver a range of new Internet Protocol (IP)-based services and applications and will increasingly enable AT&T customers to seamlessly access services and content over both wireless and wireline network connections. 

AT&T research has shown strong customer interest in Video Share for a range of uses, including:

• Sharing. Consumers can share moments with family and friends as the moments happen.
• Providing a Sense of “Being There.” Consumers or business contacts can be in one place while seeing and hearing what is happening in another.
• Getting/Giving Advice. Consumers or business contacts can seek advice by sharing video and audio, as the need arises.

To use the service, a Video Share-capable handset is required. Two Video Share service packages will be available for $4.99 a month for 25 minutes of Video Share usage or $9.99 a month for 60 minutes of usage. Users also may choose to pay as they go and pay 35 cents a minute each time
they use the service. Video Share minutes are charged only to the sender.
