Met Paul at TechLudd Limerick a few weeks back. They’ve got some nice tricks planned for video outside of 3G coverage too.

Ubcam is available for the mobile and PC – although the PC client is still pre beta.

The main idea is people should be able to broadcast live and if they like state a price per minute view COULD pay, so I could charge 0.01 cents per min.

Also all videos are archived – these videos also can have a set fee to watch.

So the main aim here is to empower broadcaster with the ability to earn money.

Ubcam goes live in June 2008. email me if you would like more info – paul at ubcam.com

“Not quite death of the Newsroom but”

I’d go the opposite way – this kind of technology has the potential to be very helpful to non traditional broadcasters.

Although, like with the issue of newspaper reporters taking photographs, camera men might not like it.
