videophone?

I was idly thinking that given that...
1. broadband is pretty common - esp in the uk
2. webcams are common, esp on laptops
3. lots of families & friends live far apart nowadays
4. skype and other technologies ahev been around for a while

...that I know of few if any people who talk face to face on screen like in all the best sci-fi.

I guess one issue is that the time each caller/reciever wants to be seen is different, whereas most are willing to speak or be heard phonewise anytime. Do you videophone?

I agree with Lissa - I really like my webcam and talking on Skype using it, but not many people have the same enthusiasm/resources. :-(
