AT&T Unveils Video Share In Three Markets

AT&T announced today that its new cell phone “shared video” service is now available in three U.S. cities. Subscribers in San Antonio, Atlanta and Dallas are able to essentially broadcast a live video feed from their phone, share that video with a friend, and carry on a conversation at the same time. The program, called Video Share, is best summed up as “I see what you see.”

Right now, only three cell phone models support AT&T’s Video Share – the Samsung a707, Samsung Sync, and LG CU500v – and in order for the service to work, both the sender and receiver must own the correct phone and subscribe to the Video Share program. Still, though, this sure sounds cool. Video Share costs a modest $4.99 a month for 25 minutes of video feeds, or $9.99 for a full hour.

Best of all, an AT&T spokeswoman says Video Share will be made available to AT&T’s entire 3G network, from coast to coast, by next month.
