BlackBerry could be developing a video conferencing service as part of BBM. Voice calling will be a free feature for BBM, but BlackBerry may be developing something more. The company has already announced plans to monetize BBM. Could video calls be part of that plan?
David Proulx, the senior director of BBM Business Development, gave a recent media briefin where he said a Skype-like service is possible. He said BBM voice will be a free feature but what about video conferencing?
BBM has a user base of about 85 million and they are expanding into iOS and Android. Is there room for another video conferencing service? Maybe.
