3 UK lets cell users make, sell videos

Cell phone cameras are starting to make things interesting:

The smallest of Britain’s five mobile phone network operators said on Tuesday that customers could now use their mobile phone to make a 30 second video and upload it onto a “See Me TV” channel for others to view.

Each time a clip is downloaded by one of 3 UK’s 3.2 million customers, the performer gets paid one penny.

A penny is not very much but don’t bet on the economics staying the same for long. Sure they will all be short crappy movies but that’s the most you can tolerate on a tiny two inch screen anyways. Disposable content for disposable devices, a perfect match.
