As the cost of "v-mail" (video mail) service drops, an "I miss you" message

游客2023-10-09  23
问题     As the cost of "v-mail" (video mail) service drops, an "I miss you" message from a far away sweetheart or a "Happy Birthday" serenade(小夜曲) from Grandma could soon be winging its way to your mailbox. A variety of companies have recently introduced cheap video-mail offerings that manage to force a one-minute multimedia(多媒体) message to the size of a one-page Word document. And the prices of web cameras—ranging from $25 to $150—are dropping fast. According to a recent Forrester Research study in the US, 94% of Internet users send an e-mail at least once a week, and 41% send pictures through e-mail once a week, which shows a huge market.
    A number of Internet service providers believe that consumers will be eager to use voice and video e-mail. AT&T WorldNet, Microsoft Corp’s WebTV, Yahoo, to name a few, have all jumped on the v-mail bandwagon(乐队花车). All that’s required is a standard web camera and video-mall software, some suppliers charge a monthly fee for either an unlimited or set amount of v-mails. But while the technology is predicted to make in-roads in one’s mailbox, it will likely be a while before it becomes a favored tool of advertisers.
