Well said Andreas! I'm fed up! I want better access to vlogging... I'm going to go move to Japan or Europe where the governement doesn't let companies get away with being so evil that they shoot themselves in the foot... and their customers too! ...or perhaps australia. They have the funniest accents and they speak something close enough to english. They have good cellular companies don't they? :) Seriously though... I've been using highspeed data with my laptop and cellular phone for like 3 or 4 years ago. I had to put together my own cable and hack my own modem script at the time... I think if I can do that I can get video over a cell phone... It's time to crack the camels back. I'm making it part of my personal mission... my next purchase will be a video compatible cell phone... and if I have to I'll find the find the right carrier. There's NO reason why any video on the web cannot be delivered to any video cell except for lack of vision and lack of want.
