Comcast is planning on bringing Skype video chat to customers equipped with the right gear . Although what they plan to offer is looks somewhat good , it ’s still ill-defined how much this might cost you .
Here ’s the part of interest in the release :
Here are a few things customer will be able-bodied to do through this offering :
· Make and receive Skype picture and audio call , or send insistent message via Skype on a television while watching their favorite TV show at the same time , and accept incoming calls during a idiot box show with the aid of Caller ID .
· Make and receive television and audio song , or send instant messages via Skype on a compatible mobile phone or tablet .
· Import friend to their reference book from their Facebook , Outlook , Gmail and smartphone contact lists , find them on Skype and see when contacts are on-line and usable to spill the beans .
This religious service will be delivered on the Comcast client ’s HDTV through an adaptor box , a high - quality picture camera , and a especially designed removed ascendancy that enable customer to text on Skype as well as control their television . The other calling party does not need any particular equipment beyond what is want to use Skype .
In plus , customers will be able to access mobile feature conveniently through Comcast ’s Xfinity Mobile app , and continue to revel conversations by switching from one compatible gadget ( for instance , smartphone , tablet or television ) to another .
Customer trials for this offering will begin in the come months , and further intersection detail will be made available later this yr .
That app connectivity looks particularly fascinating . Now , it would follow that this form of servicing , whether it comes bundled with your present programme or not , would cost you something . I guess we ’ll obtain that out shortly , too . [ AllThingsD , Image via Shutterstock ]
