Reporters and journalists are using this during the war with Afghans.. they send video footage news via "videophone". I'm just curious if they are just using vid. cam/internet or something else.
Thanks

They are typically using a shrunk down solution that is more or less handheld. It's a small video conferencing unit with a screen and a camera. The uplink is made via satellite and then beamed to the news rooms. It's also quite secure so the Taliban can't listen on what's being said.
